About this house rental

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.

Nice host & lovely location next to a shrine. Easy walk to 2 stations. Nice traditional elements. Functional (but we were a little tall for the main floor) we had a great time. It was nice to have laundry.

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.

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.

We enjoy all this area has to offer. Walking along the river, easy jaunt over to Asakusa and all the small restaurants and bars lining the backstreets. Close to two stations with big shopping areas around each. Family Mart just out the door and larger grocery two blocks away. Lots of independent bakeries, tofu and tea shops. The owner is very responsive and kind. Thank you for making us feel welcome Sumire House…see you again!

15-night stay, December 31st to January 15, 2024. Good pre-arrival communication(s) with Owner. Good on-site written home information & instructions. Limited kitchen functionality (small fridge, single burner cooking plate, microwave oven, fully-manual drip coffee pot. Pre-arrival notice by Owner of electrical load limitations/"nuisance trippimg". Instinctively prepared for Japan winter weather sleepwear Traditional home characteristcs include low doorways, and steep narrow 2nd level stairway. More functional living area on 2nd level than 1st. Complimentary ear plugs for sleeping appreciated due to proximity to busy road. Great modern washer/dryer. Relatively convenient (8-13 minute walk) to Skytree and Hikifune subway stations/local restaurants/Izakayas. Family Mart convenience store right next store and grocery store within a couple of blocks. Added/unexpected bonus of home being adjacent to neighborhood Shrine.

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.
