    Perfect location in Shimokitazawa, which is away from the main touristy area. Very close to the metro station, with lots of great restaurants and bars closeby, as well as cool shopping. The hosts were very responsive and had great recommendations...

LIVING IN THE HEART OF TOKYO’S LAID-BACK CREATIVE CULTURE A spacious 1LDK 41.21㎡ with a loft + everything you'd expect in a guest house with plenty of space, a high ceiling, lots of natural light and a view of the town from its 9F balcony. Comes with optic fibre internet with no data limitations. 3 mins from the station and in the heart of its creative culture, MINIMAL SHIMOKITA is perfect for singles, couples & families looking to discover the expressive yet welcoming Shimokita + Shibuya, Shinjuku, Harajuku etc. with great ease. Where the majority of 1R or 1LDK rooms and hotels in Tokyo are roughly between 15㎡ - 35㎡, Minimal Shimokita with its loft and at 41.21㎡ offers enough space for travelers to truly feel at home. The two windows on both floors offer plenty of light, creating a perfect atmosphere to unwind after days of being on the go. The decor is minimal and neutral, with retro Japanese magazines, books and posters that hint at the rich history and culture that Japan has to offer. We are always keen to reinvest to benefit our guests now and in the future, continuously making improvements to the home! Let us know if there's anything you would like to have in the home!
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive" - Anaïs Nin IG : @returnthisway Hello! I'm Japanese and have spent 21 years in Sydney, Singapore, and the USA. I left advertising (Dentsu Oddfellows / Dentsu Creative X) for a second time to focus on launching a social enterprise. I've previously worked with deaf people via NOK CAFE BAR creating their brand and managing all communications, and before that worked on a passion project in organic fashion and cross-cultural initiatives through Return Co. I hope to continue being involved in social businesses, and amongst other goals hopefully contribute to creating fruitful and lasting connections between the world and my motherland, meeting people from around the globe :) I live in another Shimokitazawa apartment with my rescue dog 'Akiko (May May) Yosano" and a rescue cat "Ryuichi (Ryu chan) Sakamoto". We love the bustling neighbourhood, but also love our downtimes getting touch with nature and all the good things on our amazing planet. If there's anything else you're wondering about us, we're right here. Hope to chat to you soon! Peace from TKY, Ryo
