Welcome home to your Tokyo adventure 🙇‍♂️


The buildings are nostalgic looking. Built in Showa era and renovated. Please respect the quality of the old house.

One of the buildings is facing Sumo-beya (Sumo wrestler training house). You may hear them training early in the morning. Please understand that it might disturb you.
