We help people from all around the world make the most of every moment in Tokyo. We’re proud long-term Tokyo residents, passionate about the beautiful diversity our world has to offer. We’ve developed an incredibly deep connection with our Tokyo community, culture, and city - and we can’t wait to share it with you.

We're an Australian husband and wife team who have built up a network of homes for short term rentals with like minded hosts and owners called Tokyo Family Stays. We are LGBTQ+ Allies and we have built inclusion into all areas of our business. We offer a safe place for family groups - however that looks in your family.

With more than 20 years of experience as proud Tokyoites, we know how to provide experiences you won’t find through any hotel or “luxury” service. We bring you true humility and raw humanity, maximizing your time here so you can take home unforgettable memories.

We’ve hosted thousands of guests to date, many of whom come back every year. Our real-life friend list never stops growing, and we can’t wait to make you a part of it!
