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 - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Tatami (woven mat) flooring ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: our policy is STRICTLY non smoking ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - On a river ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Motor boating nearby - Theme park nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 646 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 12:00 PM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you complete the following before checking out: Remove leftover food and drinks Lock the doors Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Rules After confirming reservation, I send the document.

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 ### 8/10 Good #### Haekal H. Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming traditional house with great access to transport networks Unique and great stay at Sumire house. 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 #### Peter L.

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.
