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. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required -

Communication was excellent from the start. Very charming traditional house and nicely located, far enough from the commercial shopping areas but with good access. Family Mart across the alley. Only caveat - street noise. A good pair of ear plugs worked well for me. Super clean house, well-supplied with all the basics. Comfortable beds with warm comforters. Would definitely stay again. ##### Pia S. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DANIEL G.

There's no other house like it in the neighbourhood. The proximity to the local shrine also adds to its charm. We loved the location - away from the hustble and bustle of major tourist areas but well connected via Hikifune and Sky tree station making it easy to get to destinations.We stayed during winter, and whilst there are heaters, the house isn't well insulated, and on the ground floor in particular and it can get rather cold. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and our hosts were also great and accommodating. ##### Haekal H. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn L.

Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect home base in Tokyo 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. ##### jill g. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne E. Nov 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sumire House stay in November This was a very good place to stay overall with great communication from the hosts. It is close to 2 train lines and it was very easy to get from Oshiage Station to Haneda Airport with our luggage. Two things to be aware of: 1) It is very close to a main road and was noisy at night. Windows can also rattle in the wind (it is an older house, which is also part of it's charm). Provided earplugs were definitely needed and worked well for 2 of us. 2) Stairs to the second level are steep & can be challenging with larger than carry-on baggage size. Overall it was a place I would be happy to stay again. The local convenience store about 10 metres away was very friendly and a good source of readymade meals, snack items, milk and were kind enough to store our luggage after checkout. ##### Anne E.

Apr 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Family experience in Tokyo Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this traditional Japanese house. The location is near Oshiage Skytree station (10-15 minutes walk). This might not suit some as a location to get to tourist locations but it worked well for us.Contact before and during our stay from the owners was excellent and so helpful with restaurant information and local knowledge.The beds were very comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed to have some meals at home. Family Mart is right across the road.Height of the doorways might be a challenge for anyone tall as we all managed to forget at least once but it waa part of the charm. The staircase is also not for those with any mobility challenges.There is a temple in the surrounds of the house which was undergoing renovations when we were there but so beautiful.The house is close to a main road, so there is traffic noise at night but there are earplugs supplied and it really didn’t bother us.Easy bus ride nearby to Asakusa, walk to Sumida Riverwalk and Skytree.Our family thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay here, would absolutely recommend it for anyone wanting an authentic experience and hope that we can return someday. ##### Vicki L.

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. ##### Jo W.

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. ##### Jeffrey S. Stayed 15 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher L. Dec 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy traditional home. We stayed 9 nights on our recent trip to Tokyo. It is convenient to Hikifune station but we usually walked to Oshiage Station as the trains were usually more convenient. The home is a bit older (1950s I believe) but it has some modern conveniences. There is an update bathroom, washer/dryer combo, and many updated kitchen appliances. It is a bit basic but has enough for 2-4 guests. There is also a tv avs dvd player. The beds are very comfortable. The windows are thin so you'll hear a lot of noise from the road and the trains. It didn't bother my wife and I who live in a busy area, but my mother in law used the ear plugs provided and had no issues. Each bedroom and the living room have separate ductless heaters/ac. There is a family mart next door and we picked up breakfast and snacks here to have in the house. The only drawback was being a tall person I did bonk my head about 12 times on the doorway between the kitchen and living room. But that's expected in older Japanese homes (I did the same in our machiya in Kyoto in 2018). I would recommend this house if you want to experience traditional Japanese home living. The location is convenient to train stations while being in a lovely residential area. There's a lovely temple right next to the house, a couple of times there were musicians and services being held. The owners were quite nice and quick to reply if we messaged with any questions. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Christopher L.

It was very convenient to have the market steps from the door, and there were great little restaurants within walking distance. It was a great stay! ##### Melissa S.

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 ##### Dede C.
