Sagamihara Housing Area
Coordinates: 35°31′16″N 139°29′04″E / 35.52111°N 139.48444°E Sagamihara Housing Area (known as SHA) is an area of land designated as living space for United States Military personnel and Department of the Army Civilians in Sagamihara, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan. American soldiers who are stationed at Camp Zama may live in SHA instead of living on the main post. Camp Zama, SHA and Sagami Depot all fall under the command of United States Army Garrison-Japan (USAG-J), the installation management command for the United States Army, Japan (USARJ).
SHA is located approximately 3 kilometers away from Camp Zama. There is no military operated transportation directly to or from SHA to Camp Zama or Sagami Depot. The closest train station to SHA is Odakyū-Sagamihara Station on the Odakyu train line. Military operated buses transport children to the schools on other military installations.
The housing on SHA is for both military families and families of American civilians who work for the Army. Single parents and families can live here as well as on Camp Zama; however, single soldiers and civilians without dependents (spouse, child, parent, etc.) are restricted to housing on Camp Zama. There are both attached and detached houses on SHA, ranging from two to four bedrooms and one to three bathrooms.
The Enlisted Personnel are allowed to occupy very modern quarters that were built from the late 1990s forward. Officers are required to occupy post occupation dwellings that were constructed in 1951 and 1955. Some of the officer's quarters haven't been renovated since they were constructed. Officers make enough money to live adequately.
