The top two floors of a wooden house in old-town Tokyo — 85 m², three bedrooms, its own kitchen and bathroom, and a balcony. Five minutes on foot to Ohanajaya station, fifteen minutes by train to central Tokyo, forty minutes to Narita airport without changing trains.
BUILT FROM WOOD, NOT PLASTERBOARD
The posts and joinery are hinoki (Japanese cypress) and red pine; the floors are solid timber; the walls are shikkui, the traditional Japanese lime plaster that regulates humidity on its own. On a warm day you can smell the cypress. It is a quiet, bright, tactile place to spend a few months — closer to a small Japanese house than to a serviced flat, because that is what it is.
SET UP FOR WORKING
Measured Wi-Fi of 1,047 Mbps, a 27-inch monitor, a proper desk and a real office chair, in a dedicated workspace. We are remote workers ourselves and built the setup we always wanted to find when travelling.
A KITCHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY COOK IN
Three-burner gas range with a grill, dishwasher, full cookware, wine glasses, Japanese seasonings to experiment with. In-unit washing machine and dryer. A deep Japanese soaking tub. Individual air conditioning in each room. A 43-inch TV with Netflix, and a shelf of board games.
LAYOUT, AND WHAT IS DOWNSTAIRS
The second and third floors are yours — three bedrooms, your own kitchen, bathroom and toilet, behind a door that locks. The ground floor is a separate licensed guest apartment that we rent to short-stay visitors; it has its own kitchen, bath and toilet and no connection to your floors. You share only the entrance hall and the shoe storage, which does mean you will cross paths with people arriving and leaving with suitcases. We would rather you knew that before you book than discover it in week one. Everyone here keeps the same quiet hours, and in eleven years of hosting it has not been a problem. Your floors are reached by an internal staircase, which is narrow — worth knowing if you arrive with heavy luggage.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Katsushika is shitamachi — the low-rise, older, lived-in side of Tokyo, where family shops and daily life still set the rhythm. A lot of people who have moved to Japan from abroad live around here, and guests have told us the nearby mosque and the halal options made a real difference to their stay. The Arakawa riverbank is a short walk. You are close enough to central Tokyo to commute, and far enough that you get a whole house rather than a single room.
EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED
Electricity, gas, water, Wi-Fi and the final cleaning are all covered. Nothing extra is charged when you leave.
HOW THIS WORKS
This is a home you rent, not a serviced apartment. There is no housekeeping and no linen change during your stay — the place is yours and you look after it as you would your own. We hand over a cleaned, fully prepared home with starter supplies, and we answer messages within the hour if something breaks. One to six months suits this home best, and longer is fine.
We have hosted for eleven years, with 432 reviews and a 4.97 average across our homes. English, Japanese and Chinese are all fine.

Every time you rent through Flatio, you're automatically covered by our StayProtection package.
By booking this property, you'll also enjoy extended protection in the form of Stay Benefits - a unique offering backed by AXA! Here's what such packaging includes:
Once you send a booking request, the host is notified that you are interested in their listing. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your booking.
Hosts are mainly interested in the profile of their guest. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your booking will more likely get approved.
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every listing. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the hosts on Flatio.
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the host and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
W przypadku, gdy wprowadzisz się, a wynajęte mieszkanie nie będzie zgodne z informacjami na Flatio, poinformuj nas o tym jak najszybciej!
Jeśli warunki odstąpienia od umowy zostaną spełnione, a wynajmujący nie będzie w stanie natychmiast naprawić problemu, masz możliwość odstąpienia od umowy najmu z pełnym zwrotem kosztów. Aktywnie pomożemy Ci również znaleźć alternatywne zakwaterowanie i pozostaniemy po Twojej stronie, dopóki wszystko nie zostanie w pełni rozwiązane.
Możesz przeczytać warunki i wszystkie szczegóły dotyczące naszej Gwarancji Wprowadzenia się na stronie w tym artykule w naszym Centrum Pomocy.
How you can cancel a booking varies depending on what stage the booking is in.
Is your booking request still waiting for host approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your booking request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the booking before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the host accepts your booking, the property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved booking and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your booking, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
