Is there a curfew in the dormitory?

Only Domitory Tsukigaoka has a curfew (11p.m. o'clock). Other dormitories have no curfew, but you must be careful not to disturb other residents late at night.

Is it possible to put a TV and a refrigerator in the dorm room?

At Shurei dormitory, Dormitory Tsukigaoka, and Global House, you may have a TV in your room. However, you must dispose of or bring it back home with you when you leave the dormitory. The Home Appliance Recycling Law requires a disposal procedure for televisions (for a fee). Please do your own research before bringing a TV into the house.
In addition, you are required to sign a contract with NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) when you install a TV set.
Many dormitory students are eligible for an exemption from this contract, so please check if this applies to you and complete the exemption procedure together with your subscription. Dormitory students who do not qualify for the exemption should pay the subscription fee themselves. The equipment installed in each dormitory is different, so please check the introduction page of each dormitory carefully for details.
*There is no TV terminal in the Minami-Senri International Student Dormitory, so TVs cannot be installed there.
*In Minami-Senri International Plaza International Student Dormitory, please use the TV set located in the lounge in the unit.
