Meet your host

Hosted in person, by someone who lives here

I live right here in Yushima and host every guest myself. Before you arrive, we have a short 15-minute video call — a relaxed way to say hello, answer your questions, and make sure the home fits your plans. No credit checks, no paperwork marathon — just two people meeting.

Many guests say it's the moment Tokyo started to feel like home.
