Situated in Tokyo, 700 metres from Kameari Kochikame Statue, MAKOTO GUESTHOUSE -Enjoy your stay- provides air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge. This property is located a short distance from attractions such as Oyata Park, Horyuji Temple, and Katsushika City Museum. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

This place is perfect if you wish to socialize with fellow travelers! Very clean place, ample connectivity options, as well as spacious sleeping quarters. Just bring an extra extension cable, as power connections tend to get filled up fast, due to the number of people connecting their laptops to the place. I can't recommend this place enough! Access to the train station is also reasonable and is a 15-minute walk from the guesthouse to Kameari station. Also, if your birthday falls during your stay, the host will celebrate it by setting up a small dinner for you! :D Very personal touch to a very wonderful experience!

Kitazawa Cozy House is situated in the Setagaya district of Tokyo, 700 metres from Kitazawa Hachiman Shrine, 700 metres from Shinganji Temple and 1.4 km from Museum of Modern Japanese Literature. The property is set 1.8 km from Komaba Museum, 2.1 km from Shosen-ji Temple and 2 km from Hanegi Park. Ikejiri Inari Shrine is 2.3 km from the guest house.

Our stay here was exceptional. We were warmly greeted by the host, who speaks fantastic English. The accomodation is the entire 2nd floor and is very roomy. Something about the atmosphere of the house encourages good, sound sleep. "Cozy house" is exactly right. The location is also fantastic... a quick walk to the station, but set in a quiet, relaxing neighbourhood. Highly recommended for families or anyone wanting a traditional, relaxing accomodation option.

Hisayo-san is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met! She is super interesting to talk to and her view on different topics made me learn lots! Really enjoyed our conversations with some Umeshu 🥰 She is very kind and attentive. The property was extremely clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable and cozy, perfect for winter. It was right next to the station too so getting there was really easy. It’s really close to Haneda Airport so I recommend it for people that like convenience.

    The cutest little guest house and hostel! The staff (many of whom are volunteers) were so helpful and kind — they go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Everything was kept very clean. I stayed in the all female dorm and it was cozy and quiet at night.

    Jij is a great host who made me feel like spending Christmas in a home rather than a guesthouse. After receiving the special-lemon-juice-welcome drink I’ve been shown where to buy delicious Sushi at a cheap price & in the evening everyone gathered around the common table. Definitely my favourite hostel in Tokyo so far.
