🏯 Samurai House – A Rare Large Family Home Near Shinjuku
Big group? No problem. Samurai House is a spacious 4-bedroom, two-storey home — a rare find in Tokyo — with flexible sleeping and plenty of room for families, multi-generational trips, or groups traveling together.
Live like a local for short or long stays, with the comfort of a real home and excellent access to the city 🚇✨
✨ Highlights
The house features 4 bedrooms, a spacious kitchen, large dining area, and a quiet living/TV room. It comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, with options for additional bedding. Traditional shoji screens allow rooms to open up for shared time or close off for privacy — ideal for families or couples sharing.
Tucked away in a calm residential street yet just minutes from the Marunouchi subway line, you can relax in peace while being only three stops from Shinjuku, with direct connections through to Tokyo Station and Ginza.
📡 Fast, unlimited Wi-Fi supports remote work, streaming, and gaming, and an Amazon Fire Stick makes it easy to log into your own streaming services. An Xbox with games is also available — popular with kids and teens 🎮
🍜 The local area is full of welcoming restaurants, cafés, and bistros — many offering English menus — plus supermarkets and 24-hour convenience stores within easy walking distance. A great balance of everyday convenience and local charm.
Your own quiet house, with excellent transport links to the entire city.

We provide a neighbourhood map, plus novels, travel guides, and walking maps inside the house. With over 20 years living in Tokyo, we’re always happy to share local tips and hidden gems.
