Experience Taditional Japanese House! SUMIRE

Good access to Skytree shopping mall and Asakusa!
Convenienct location for tourists!

A 70 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.

Clean rooms, well maintained and located in a great spot. Windows are old so you can hear the main road, but still found it comfortable to sleep. The archways are low and stairs a bit steep, but the listing is very straightforward about this. Really enjoyed our time here.

Excellent Japanese experience!

The home was in a lovely neighborhood convenient to subways, with personal touches and cultural touchstones. Our family enjoyed meals around the kitchen at the end of a long day of adventuring around Tokyo! Highly recommend for a traditional Japanese stay with modern comforts! #japanstay

Reliving history

Part of my reason for returning to Japan, was to study traditional interior decorating, This house was a good example, as it was built before WW2, Other advantages were the nice neighborhood, plenty of space, laundry, good heating system, friendly owner.

A spot to call your own

We enjoyed all aspects of our stay at Sumire House. It’s cozy and safe tucked away in an area filled with families. Everything you need is within easy walking distance, bus just out the door and two major stations a ten minutes walk. The owner is quick to reply to any needs and concerns. Have fun in Tokyo…we did!

Central Location to Adventure!

The Sumire house was an excellent find. It’s location allowed for easy access to the rest of Tokyo— and the relaxed nature of the Mukojima meant the hustle and bustle of the city disappeared while you were in the neighborhood. Great cozy little spot!

Little Gem

This property was just as we imagined - full of character and charm. Conveniently located to trains, supermarkets, restaurants and so many fabulous attractions with Skytree a short walk away, the river, temples and shrines. Although small it accommodated our family of 4 quite comfortably.
