Great traditional home

We really enjoyed staying in a clean, traditional Japanese home. It was very convenient to have the market steps from the door, and there were great little restaurants within walking distance. It was a great stay!

Clean rooms, well maintained and located in a great spot. Windows are old so you can hear the main road, but still found it comfortable to sleep. The archways are low and stairs a bit steep, but the listing is very straightforward about this. Really enjoyed our time here.

If you want a little more room than a typical Tokyo hotel, this is a great place to stay. It has 2 bedrooms. You get to learn more about post WWII life here too. It is next to Family Mart and a shrine. It is a little noisy from proximity to a busy street, but it was worth it for us.The hosts were very helpful with recommendations on things to see and places to eat. They also helped us with train schedules and how to get around Tokyo.Heater/air conditioner worked well and we were very comfortable here. Laundry in house available but we didn’t use it. Shower was great with high water pressure. The rooms were extremely clean.

Excellent Japanese experience!

The home was in a lovely neighborhood convenient to subways, with personal touches and cultural touchstones. Our family enjoyed meals around the kitchen at the end of a long day of adventuring around Tokyo! Highly recommend for a traditional Japanese stay with modern comforts! #japanstay

We stayed as a family of 4. 2 adults and 2 teens. It was a little tight but we made it work. The house is a little confusing to get to as the address will bring you to the back. You just need to go around the corner. It was awesome to have Family Mart steps away from the front door. It’s a little loud since you’re close to the Main Street. The neighborhood is very cute and walkable. We enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would recommend would be clean new towels. The towels were very old and stained. The linens could use some updating. Also if they could offer more pillows. Other than that it was a fantastic stay. I would highly recommend it.

Central Location to Adventure!

The Sumire house was an excellent find. It’s location allowed for easy access to the rest of Tokyo— and the relaxed nature of the Mukojima meant the hustle and bustle of the city disappeared while you were in the neighborhood. Great cozy little spot!
