About this house rental

Situated in Chiba Prefecture, this charming house for $176 per night is a great choice for your next break. Good access to Skytree shopping mall and Asakusa! Convenienct location for tourists! A 65 year old traditional Japanese townhouse located in well known downtown, Mukojima, Tokyo. The house belongs to my husband who spent his childhood there. We are university professors, and the house was too small for us to live with our three children and lots of books, so we have never lived there. After 30 years, I found it quite cool as it looked remaining very nostalgic, which brought me back to the nice and old days of Japan. Now it is very rare to find this kind in Tokyo. The house was renovated nicely with its original taste. There are two bedrooms; one with a double bed and the other with two singles. The bedrooms on the second floor are floored with tatami mats. There are small but cozy living space and a kitchenette in the first floor. Bathroom with a bathtub and shower head. You will find the 'washlet' in WC. Since the house was built right after WWII, everything is made small according to the Japanese people's frame at that time. If you are way taller than 6 feet, you may find it a bit close and uneasy.

We loved the cozy house in a very convenient location 8 min walk to Oshiage sky tree train station. Quiet neighbourhood, close to coffee and perfect place from which to explore Tokyo. Hosts very helpful. Highly recommended.

We stayed 9 nights on our recent trip to Tokyo. It is convenient to Hikifune station but we usually walked to Oshiage Station as the trains were usually more convenient. The home is a bit older (1950s I believe) but it has some modern conveniences. There is an update bathroom, washer/dryer combo, and many updated kitchen appliances. It is a bit basic but has enough for 2-4 guests. There is also a tv avs dvd player. The beds are very comfortable. The windows are thin so you'll hear a lot of noise from the road and the trains. It didn't bother my wife and I who live in a busy area, but my mother in law used the ear plugs provided and had no issues. Each bedroom and the living room have separate ductless heaters/ac. There is a family mart next door and we picked up breakfast and snacks here to have in the house. The only drawback was being a tall person I did bonk my head about 12 times on the doorway between the kitchen and living room. But that's expected in older Japanese homes (I did the same in our machiya in Kyoto in 2018). I would recommend this house if you want to experience traditional Japanese home living. The location is convenient to train stations while being in a lovely residential area. There's a lovely temple right next to the house, a couple of times there were musicians and services being held. The owners were quite nice and quick to reply if we messaged with any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was in great condition and had a great feel to it. It is in a great location, perfect for walking around to places and with the shrine so close it is a great introduction when you first arrive into the area.

With our family we enyoyed the stay in this area and house. Coffee and food in the familymarket nearby was very practical.Some nice restaurants, the sumida river is close. We did a walk to Asakusa along the river. With subway everything was reachable, Oshiage skytree gives a good vieuw for a start.The house is clean and individual with a historical charme .The shower and air conditioner worked fine. We enyoyed the whole stay here and could have stayed longer.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The juxtaposition between Tokyo Sky Tree and this classic home was so fun. We stayed here for most of a week. Great access to Tokyo Sky Tree and the rest of Tokyo via Oshiage and Hikifune stations. Convenience store steps away and a grocery store down the street allowed for quick meals and cooking at the house. The owners are very responsive, friendly and accommodating. Will certainly stay again.

My boyfriend, best friend and I stayed here for about 10 days. It was the most comfortable and beautiful space we have ever stayed at. The location was super convenient, quiet and pretty. There was even a shrine outside the front door! We would stay here over and over again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
