Housing

All unaccompanied Officers, SNCOs (E-7 through E-9) will reside off-base. Service members are required to report to the Unaccompanied housing office and obtain Certificate of Non-Availability (CNA) for off post housing NLT 48 hours (2 business days) after arrival.

All Department of Defense civilians with Living Quarters Allowance must reside in the off-post housing community except for individuals who are in key and essential positions determined by the Garrison Commander.

Both government and off base housing are considerable smaller than those in the US. Most off-base housing will only accommodate a “FULL” size bed. We suggest you do not ship oversized furniture (i.e., King/California King Size bed; bed chest; overstuffed sofa, chairs, large formal dining room set, etc.), due to the smaller size of rooms and the dimensions of entrance/storage doorway [2 ft 11 in (W) X 6 ft 6 in (H)], interior doorway [2 ft 7 in (W) X 6 ft 6 in (H)], staircase width [2 ft 9 in]. Off-base housing entrance [2 ft 3 in (W) X 6 ft 2 in (H)]. Note: Not all housing units will adequately accommodate king size beds.

Appliances (Full Tour Support for eligible civilian and service member): Please DO NOT bring appliances. Camp Zama has unique electrical requirements (100V/50HZ for clothes washer, dish washer, and refrigerator, 220V/50HZ for cooking stove and clothes dryer).

U.S. manufactured appliances may not be compatible with voltage/cycle in Japan. Stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer will be provided as permanent issue for the duration of your tour.

The Housing Office does not provide sheets/linen or towels. The Army Community Service can assist with the temporary loaner use of pots, pans, dishes, glasses/cups, iron, ironing board, etc). An extension in lodging will not be authorized pending arrival of your unaccompanied (UH) or household goods (HHG) shipments.

NOTE: For all incoming personnel, it is imperative to have your sponsor call the Housing Management Office at COMM: 011-81-46-407-4503 or 011-81-46-407-3568 or at DSN: 315-263-4503 / 3568 to obtain more specific housing information for your particular needs and/or requirements.

All personnel must verify the weight allowances and limits for shipping HHG in the JTR, as their PCS orders may allow them to ship more of their own furniture. 

Both government and off base housing are considerable smaller than those in the US. Most off-base housing will only accommodate a “FULL” size bed. We suggest you do NOT ship oversized furniture (i.e., King/California King Size bed; bed chest; overstuffed sofa, chairs, large formal dining room set, etc.), due to the smaller size of rooms and the dimensions of entrance/storage doorway [2 ft 11 in (W) X 6 ft 6 in (H)], interior doorway [2 ft 7 in (W) X 6 ft 6 in (H)], staircase width [2 ft 9 in]. Off-base housing entrance [2 ft 3 in (W) X 6 ft 2 in (H)]. Note: Not all housing units will adequately accommodate king size beds. Items that cannot fit in your assigned/selected housing will have to be stored at the occupant's expense. It is very important to contact your Transportation Office to determine your authorized weight allowance.

Due to the restricted weight allowances and the size of military family housing and off-base housing, Full Tour support for bedroom, living room and dining room furniture items is provided by the Housing Office. However, availability is limited. A washer, dryer and dishwasher are standard in military housing.

Army Community Service has a Lending Closet for basic kitchen items (i.e. dishes, glasses, pots, pans, utensils, iron, ironing board, etc.) The Housing Office and ACS do not provide televisions, bed linens or towels. An extension in the hotel or a delay in housing assignment will not be authorized.

NOTE: The electrical voltage in Japan is 100V/50HZ.

Military Family Housing and Unaccompanied Personnel Housing are built by the Government of Japan under the Status of Forces Agreement and managed by U.S. Army Garrison-Japan. Therefore, all service members assigned in Camp Zama will be mandatorily assigned to either family housing or unaccompanied housing (E1-E6).

All accompanied and unaccompanied members are required to report to the Housing Office NLT 48 hours (2 Business Days) after arrival. ***In-processing must be done at Military Personnel Division (MPD) first, prior to reporting to the housing office.
