About this property

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.

The perfect experience

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.

Wonderful

This is a cosy home-like house in a residential area. You are next door to a temple and surrounded by Tokyoites. Family Mart is 10 seconds (!) away from the place, Oshiage metro station is 10-15 mins on foot. The house has everything you might need for a comfortable stay for 4 persons. We had a great time there, don't hesitate to book if you want to have a worry free holiday.

Amazing house in an excellent location.

Lucky are those who get to stay in this individual calm wooden Japanese house. As a group of 4 adults we managed well, in this house which was very clean, well equipped with comfortable beds and cooking facilities. The bathroom had a great shower, a Toto and plenty of hot water, a tub if you wish.Yes taller people have to duck through a couple of lower doorways, but don't let that stop you from a unique experience.The location close to the Sumida river allows for beautiful walks. It is an easy walk to supermarkets and train stations located at Skytree. There multiple local small restaurants that are welcoming with great food. There is an excellent bakery close by called Kameya where you will chose a different delight everyday, and you will want to go everyday. Lastly the hosts are thoughtful and informative people who are always available and responsive to communications. A house to remember and return to as soon as possible.

The perfect home base in Tokyo

We’ve stayed at Sumire house many times. It’s our favorite lodging spot in Tokyo. It is a traditional mid-century Japanese wooden house in the middle of a lovely Tokyo neighborhood. You’ll be close to great shopping (Tokyo Skytree), trains (easy access to Hikifuni and Oshiage stations), and delicious family run restaurants (too many to name). The house is well equipped, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Note, it can get a bit noisy at night in the winter when the wind kicks up and windows rattle but you quickly get used to it. The owner is kind and helpful. We love it and will keep coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Akiko & Hidemasa Yamamoto

I am a retired professor who took her degree from Columbia university in NYC long time ago.

Why they chose this property

Traditional outlook and modern equipments. Convenient to get to Akihabara, Ginza, Asakusa, Shibuya, Shinjuku, or even to Nikko. Bus stop right near the house and get to Asakusa by 10 mins. Less than 10 minutes walk to two major train stations.

What makes this property unique

Though it is located close to Asakusa, the major tourists attraction in Tokyo, Mukojima area is not polluted with commercial tourism.
There is a famous Japanese style 'tea house restaurant' where you can see and enjoy Geisha performance with reasonable price.
