The Space

In a tranquil setting just  minutes away from the charming Azabu Juban area.

It has 4 bedrooms and can  accommodate up to 9 people + baby cot in fine style. There are two  bathrooms including an en-suite bathroom for the main bedroom. 

The  open plan living, kitchen, dining room is amazing.  High ceilings with  large windows allowing an abundance of light while providing total  privacy.  It is the perfect place to cook and relax.

There  is also a roof balcony with grass and a BBQ area.  Take in the local  scenery while relaxing in this central Tokyo sanctuary.

The floor configuration is as follows (please also see house plan among the listing photos)

1F  (note: 1F in Japan = ground floor): garage, entrance hall, traditional  Japanese style tatami room, interior courtyard garden. For larger groups  the tatami room can be configured to sleep up to 3 Japanese style on comfortable single futons laid out on the floor. The room size is approx  2.5 x 3m so a 3 guest configuration is probably best for younger guests  as it is quite cosy. Our kids enjoy using this when they have friends  for stayovers.

Please contact us for further  details and pricing.

We  can also offer a concierge service to help you get around this  wonderful but at times confusing city and assist with restaurant / tour  bookings. Just ask in advance.

If  you are planning a stay please think of it like staying at a friends'  house in a foreign city, those friends being on call to look after you  during your stay and make sure you're having a good time. Compared with  staying in a nice hotel you'll get more space and privacy, the ability  to experience life like a local including the possibility of cooking at home.
