• Jennifer (9/5): Tolle Unterkunft, aber eher für kleine Gruppen - Die Lage ist super und das Haus toll eingerichtet. Es gab sogar Manga, eine Switch und viele verschiedene Streaming-Dienste, sodass man sich toll beschäftigen kann! Man ist schnell mit der Bahn an tollen Hotspots der Stadt und in unmittelbarer Nähe sind viele Läden und gute Restaurants. Die Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet, sodass man dort gut kochen kann (wir haben nur Frühstück dort zubereitet). Das Haus ist Recht schlecht isoliert und kühlt bei niedrigen Temperaturen schnell aus. Die Heizung ist aber sehr effizient, sodass man die Räume schnell wieder warm bekommt. Im Raum mit den westlichen Betten gibt es keinen Kleiderschrank und es ist sehr eng, da wäre es bei mehr Leuten wirklich schwierig geworden, die Sachen unterzubringen. Wir hätten uns auch Haken für Handtücher an den Waschbecken gewünscht. Nur eine der Toiletten hatte eine Toilettenbürste, da wäre es schön, in beiden eine zu haben.
• Ariane (10/5): Great place - Large house in a great location with everything you might need, including laundry detergent! There's even video games, mangas, and video subscription services on the TV. The only thing we didn't like is that the front door is basically just a sliding door with a paper screen, so we could see the shadows of people walking/standing in the street at night. It gave us quite the scare at first and it made the house feel less intimate.
• Monnaliza (10/5): - Such a cute little gem in the Azakusa area! The house is well equipped. Though, just be careful with coming up and down the stairs - they're a bit steep, and there are extra rooms that have low clearance. The house might also not be very suitable for seniors or those with special needs, which is worth noting as a limitation, but overall, my family and I enjoyed our stay. We loved everything, highly recommended, especially for young families and big groups! Super convenient - there's a bus station nearby, less than 1 min walk from 7-11. We will definitely stay here again.
• González (10/5): Amazing space, good price and several bathrooms. - Big spaces and several ACs that help keeping everything warm There are not a lot of food options near
• Matthias (9/5): Good location, good beds, nice neighbourhood - Good beds. Lots of space. Greatly enjoyed the switch and the smart-tv It sometimes felt as if someone could walk into the house at any second.
• Cindy (10/5): - Tout était très bien les enfants ont adoré
• Jona (10/5): -
• wunwun609 (10/5): -
• Gaston (9/5): Shhh... This one is seriously good. Don't tell anyone. Keep it secret! - A very spacious place for Tokyo and incredible value for money. The design is unique, and it’s located in a great, safe area close to two convenience stores. The check-in process was easy and simple, and communication with the host was great. We would definitely return. Nothing really. You could say it isn't right next to a train station, but it isn’t a long walk either.
• Federico (9/5): -
• Hollie (10/5): Great little place, would definitely stay again. - Great location, very clean and excellent facilities Mattresses were very hard and pillows on the bed could be better.
• Kanaike (10/5): -
• Ingram (10/5): -
• Mats (10/5): What a great apartment. - I think anyone who finds this available for their dates already know they have struck gold for their trip to Tokyo. This place is so cool and amazing for housing a family or group. It's what you see in the photos, a fun little retreat over two floors, right in Tokyo. Good beds, every convenience you need, very clean. It's also closer to the metro station that Google Maps indicates. The A7 entrance for Kuramae station is right across the bridge.
• Lai Leng (9/5): - 很大很潔淨 門口有路人經過感覺有點怪，床是單人床，如要陪小孩睡，比較窄
• Annmarie (9/5): 3 nights family in Tokyo - Fabulous house. Well renovated and thought about. So much more space than I thought! Road traffic noise... it is Tokyo after all!
• Elissa (8/5): - For the space, it's a bargain! A quirky little bolt hole to base yourself in Tokyo. A quick walk to stations, Skytree is close with buses too. 7/11 directly across the street is a bonus. Having lots of toilets and showers is helpful. We would have liked to have sheets for the futons in the tatami but we took them from the other beds in the loft. Which is worth a mention, the western style room has 4 single beds, two accessed by steep ladders making them suitable only for the nimble and small 😂. Stairs between the two floors are very steep and small and would be a struggle for those with mobility issues.
• John (10/5): Wonderful place for a big family or group. - Kitchen was useful and decently stocked. Always had hot water. We made many meals during the week. Great location, convenience store and really nice grocery store nearby, subway stations walkable. Great place for the kids - video games, loft beds.Washing machine, small appliances, cups, plates, bowls, clothes pins, shaving cream. Lots of little things to make it easy to do stuff. Wifi was good on first floor and front bedroom. Bidet style toilets. Owner was very helpful. Adequate lighting. The stairway required special care for the grandpa. Not quite enough electrical outlets in entry/living room.
• Monthikarn (10/5): เยี่ยม - มีอุปกรณ์ครบครัน ฟูกนุ่มนอนสบาย ใกล้ร้านสะดวกซื้อ ทำเลแอบเดินไกลจากสถานีนิดนึง แต่เดินไหวอยู่ เกมส์ที่ที่พักมีให้เล่น ปุ่มกดไม่ค่อยดี อาจเพราะคนเล่นกันเยอะ แต่โดยรวมดีทุกอย่าง
• Cole (10/5): Was a great stay - Great Nothing
• Laura (9/5): Apartamento muy completo y acogedor. - El apartamento está muy bien, tiene todo lo necesario para una buena estancia, aunque las toallas de ducha son muy pequeñas, al tener 2 duchas y 2 lavabos, nos fue perfecto porque fuimos 5 personas, hay que decir que la habitación donde no están las camas es algo ruidosa porque da a la calle y se oye todo incluso los semáforos, si eres alguien que le cueste conciliar el sueño con unos tapones basta. La comunicación con el gerente excelente, ningún problema, si volviese algún día me gustaría hospedarme de nuevo. Como he comentado las toallas de ducha eran pequeñas y el ruido que se percibe desde la habitación de los futones. Nada más.
• Claudia (6/5): - Die Lage. 2 Toiletten und 2 Duschen. Manga Die steile Treppe
• Katharina (10/5): Perfekte Lage, absolut sauber – ein wunderbarer Platz zum Erkunden der größten Stadt der Welt! - Wer wie wir als Familie oder kleinere Gruppe hier her kommt, wird begeistert sein. Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral im sehr schönen, zentralen und trotzdem ruhigen Stadtteil Sumida am gleichnamigen Fluss gelegen. Von hier aus sind wir bequem, ohne jegliche Anstrengung, zum Tokio Sky Tree, ins Einkaufsparadies Ueno und zu Asakusa Tempel gelaufen. Die Kuramae Station ist in 5 Minuten zu erreichen und somit ist alles zu erreichen. Die Unterkunft selbst ist SEHR sauber und mit allem ausgestattet. Wem die Straße im Tatamiraum nachts zu laut ist findet im hinteren Teil der Wohnung genügend ruhigere Schlafplätze. Die Wohnung verfügt außerdem neben einer schönen separaten Dusche über einen "Mini-Onsen", sowie über 2 separate moderne japanische Toiletten und sogar über ein separates Pissoir – alles in tadellos sauberem Zustand! Der Grundriss des Hauses ist sehr skurril und füllt eine sehr schmale Baulücke. Dadurch sind die Räume alle etwas sonderbar und gewöhnungsbedürftig – wenn man aber eine Weile in Japan unterwegs ist, merkt man schnell, dass derartige Wohnkonzepte nicht ungewöhnlich sind. Der wenige Platz wird optimal genutzt. In unmittelbarer Umgebung (5 Minuten Laufradius) findet man alle typischen Konbinis, einen gut ausgestatteten Supermarkt sowie Restaurants und Getränkeautomaten in Hülle und Fülle. Zum Flanieren eignet sich ein sehr schöner Park etwas südlich der Unterkunft in Richtung Sumo-Stadion und der Fußweg direkt am Sumida Fluss. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war stets direkt, und schnell. Wir würden immer wieder ins Vacation"Ninja"house Secretbase zurückkehren!!! Alles war perfekt. Einzig die Beschreibung und die Fotos der Wohnung fanden wir verwirrend und waren anfangs unsicher, ob man sich die Unterkunft noch mit anderen Reisenden teilen muss..
• ALESSANDRA (9/5): Sistemazione originale e ben posizionata, ideale per giovani viaggiatori - La posizione dell'appartamento è molto strategica e lo spazio è ampio, disposto su due piani con una forma che ricorda un cuneo. Le camere non sono definite da pareti vere e proprie, ma ogni letto trova comunque il suo spazio all'interno dell'ambiente. Una delle camere si trova su un soppalco e vi si accede tramite una scaletta: non comodissima per le valigie, ma comunque fattibile. È sicuramente adatto a viaggiatori giovani che hanno voglia di condividere gli spazi. La zona giorno è ben fornita, con giochi, fumetti e altri passatempi. Abbiamo apprezzato molto la presenza di una cassa Bluetooth, perfetta per ascoltare la nostra musica. La cucina è dotata dell’essenziale per il soggiorno e le ciabatte fornite sono un tocco divertente. La porta d’ingresso, in stile tradizionale giapponese in legno e carta, è molto leggera e la sera, quando qualcuno passava o sostava davanti, dava l’impressione che fosse all’interno dell’appartamento. Consiglierei di aggiungere una controporta, utile anche per evitare che insetti entrino da sotto le ante.
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Simon (9/5): Our family loved every minute we were there, definitely will be back - Great location, close to everything we needed, very unique establishment Nothing
• NA (10/5): - ・貸し切り ・アメニティが揃っている ・清潔感がある
• LR (8/5): - La casa era divertente perché particolare nella sua struttura generale. Molto comoda la fermata dell'autobus davanti alla porta di casa e anche la presenza del Seven Eleven. La casa si trova a un incrocio piuttosto trafficato quindi la camera che dà sulla strada è rumorosa e c'è molta luce non avendo delle vere tapparelle. Le scale per salire al piano di sopra sono estremamente strette e non molto agevoli.
• Federico (10/5): -
• VinzDeReip (8/5): Appartement atypique, une belle découverte - Très bel appartement atypique sur le thème des ninjas. Il est d'une belle taille pour un appartement japonais et très bien équipé (télé, mangas, switch, ...). Vraiment une belle découverte. Il est également très bien situé dans l'Est de Tokyo (quartier d'Asakusa, Nikko en train, etc...). L'appartement est situé près d'un carrefour donc on entend les bruits inhérent à une grande ville. Il manque également de l'obscurité dans la chambre japonaise pour passer de bonnes nuits.
• Moonhee (10/5): - 교통도 지하철역이랑 가깝고 숙소가 엄청 넓고 깨끗합니다 우린 5명가족이었는데 화장실도 많고 주방도 있고 냉장고도 커서 좋았습니다 욕실도 두개나있고 층별 화장실이 있어서 사용하기 편리했습니다 무엇보다 전체적으로 너무 청결하게, 관리되어있어서 묵는내내 기분이 좋았습니다 다음에 다시 기회된다면 꼭 여기서 다시 숙박하고싶습니다. 숙박중 메세지대응도 빨라서 불편함이 없었습니다. 좋은 숙박 경험을 하게해주셔서 감사합니다 없습니다
• Charisse Krizzia (10/5): The best stay in Japan - The property was only 10 mins away from the nearest station and everything we needed during our stay was at the property. It was huge and managed to fit 8 adults comfortably, it also has 3 toilets and 2 showers which is very much convenient of you are travelling with a big group None
• Siu (10/5): Great place to stay in Tokyo for families. - Secret base was our favourite place we stayed in Japan. It was a lot of fun. It had everything we needed for our stay. The location was reasonably close to train station / airport train and 7/11 and supermarket. Some blackout curtains. But it maybe a Japanese thing not to have blackout curtains.
• SUSANA (10/5): Secretbase es una excelente opción para tu viaje a Tokio si vas en familia - La casa es muy completa, bien ubicada y con todos los servicios. Si volvemos a Tokio repetiremos seguro. Todo bien
• Lakshmi (10/5): Unique, convenient, spacious and the hosts have thought of everything. Highly recommend! - Excellent location. Right in front of a7 eleven which has everything. Walking distance to the beautiful Sumida River, and many interesting locations like the Sensoji temple and Samurai museum. Great restaurants nearby. Nothing
• Marcel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (9/5): Awesome place to start a trip in Japan - Architecture of the house, utilities, very clean Could have an international plug adaptor
• Sharon (9/5): Superb -
• Duncan (10/5): Highly recommend. - The set up of the accommodation was excellent. Every facility you could need was there. Not too far from the train stations.
• Lisa (10/5): Fun and special - It’s unique and comfortable
• Kate (10/5): Exceptional - Our favourite place we stayed in Japan! The house was so much fun for a group of friends to stay in - from the alligator slippers, the ninja costume and all the rooms and spaces to chill in. Very comfortable to sleep and great location <10 mins from a metro station with many food options nearby. Can’t wait to visit again. N/a A dryer would have been nice to wash clothes on shorter stays.
• Pindur (10/5): Spacious place to stay in a bigger group right in the center of Tokyo with great facilites - This was one of the best places we stayed in during our Japan trip - it was really spacious, had great utilities (multiple bathrooms and toilets) and offered separated bedrooms. The whole apartment was cleaned to perfection and had slippers to use during the stay.
• Lam (8/5): Great location with plenty for rooms for a large group. - Great location, close to rail stations and convenience stores. WiFi was really slow
• Carla (10/5): Lived it and would highly recommend. - Facilities, location and convenience and especially cleanliness.
• Simil (9/5): Incredible experience - The property is super well-located and well-connected, and their team is just a text away always ready to help. They even arranged an early check-in, which was a huge plus. The ninja theme is both unique and cozy, while still being super comfortable. Plus, having two showers/bathrooms makes it even more convenient when traveling with friends. Highly recommend! Wifi connection is poor. Nothing else tbh
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olly (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shaun (10/5): dream home. - clean and had a lot of good utilities, location was comfortable and quiet and nearby asakusa where sensoji temple is NOTHING
• Amanda (6/5): Overall the stay was good as long as you are not a light sleeper. - It’s very clean and tidy and bed is rather comfortable although it would be lovely to have more pillows. The property is beside the street. On the last night of my stay there is construction work going on in the middle of the night till early morning. It’s near impossible to have a good rest.
• Theodore (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious and well stocked with what you need. Great location too
• Diana (9/5): Love it. - Big space, two bathrooms and toilets, enough for big group The room close to the street is a bit noisy and it's quite bright in the morning. The other room is fine
• Jorika (10/5): An absolute gem of a place to stay for families and groups - We absolutely loved our stay in the Ninja House. So much attention to detail, you have everything you could need. Fully functioning kitchen and washer etc. The adult kids enjoyed the entertainment system including a gaming console, youtube etc. The beds are comfy and the location is perfect. Only a few minutes from the nearest station and a 10 minute walk along the river to Asakusa. There is a convenience store just across the road and a big supermarket within walking distance. Its great value for money, especially for families or groups. Highly recommend this place! PS we loved the slippers <3
• Truman (9/5): Great stay and good location. Great host! - Switch for chill days, multiple toilets for group travellers. The tap doesn’t exactly reach the bathtub.
• Jacob (10/5): Great place for our first time in Tokyo - Six of us stayed here and had a great time. The place is very stylish and spacious. It is very well equipped, especially the kitchen and laundry area. It was great to have two showers for getting ready in the morning quickly and it is nice that the toilets are separate from the showers to stop the bathrooms being constantly in use in the mornings. Floor plan is great with two spacious and comfortable bedrooms. Bedding is light and great for the summer, and the AC cools the rooms quickly. The front area with the table is great, and we enjoyed playing mario kart on the nintendo switch during some downtime (there are many games provided). Very close to Kuramae subway station and the location is very nice, with the nearby river, the Sky Tree and Senso-Ji. Also a vending machine right outside the front door. This is neither a negative or positive (I didn’t mind) but know that payment is taken off platform. The payment was easy. You are also given the entry code before you pay, and I was sent the invoice on the day of arrival. So you can arrive, connect to their Wi-Fi and then pay the invoice to unlock the bedrooms. We would easily come back and stay again! The Wi-Fi was great in downstairs by the table and upstairs in the ‘Japanese style room’ but the Wi-Fi extender in the ‘Western style room’ was patchy and hardly worked. Not a big deal as we are out exploring Tokyo! It is also on the corner of a busy intersection and we heard many loud ambulances passing through at all hours. Nothing more than minor inconveniences.
• Joey (9/5): Superb -
• Dyen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ching (9/5): Excellent - Location n staying experience No.
• ヒロミ (10/5): - 家族5人で利用しました。ゲームやマンガ本があり、子供達も大喜びでした。部屋も綺麗で設備も整っており、本当に秘密基地の様でした。家族全員大満足でした。
• Ashwin1092 (7/5): Good -
• Stanislav (10/5): Exceptional -
• sorio (10/5): - 家族5人（子供5歳、4歳、1歳）で宿泊しました。 宿泊前にお電話くださり、駐車場の案内も丁寧にしてくださいました。 宿泊中も、子供が騒がしかったのですが、終始親切にしてくださいました。 施設は、急な階段があるので、小さな子供は目が離せませんが、観光目的で寝るだけの場所と考えれば充分快適でした。 キッチンは食器、調理器具、調味料は自由に使えて、風呂はシャンプーやタオルが借りられました。 立地的には、両国駅、スカイツリー、歩いていけました。近くはないですが。 また機会があれば利用したいと思います。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 初ゲストハウス - 繁忙期でホテルが軒並み高額だったので、家族4人でもお値打ちに感じたこちらに決めました。 ゲストハウス初体験です。 到着時にフロントがなかったので、代表番号にTELをするとインターホンを鳴らして下さいとの事でしたが、貼り紙やや予約確認メールなどでわかりやすくしていただけると良いと思います。 車で行きましたが近隣の安い駐車場を尋ねるとわざわざ外まで出て教えてくださり、とても親切にしていただきました。 民家を改築した秘密基地のような子どもが喜ぶ作りです。 シャワー・トイレ共用でした。部屋数が少ない為、使用感はあまり気になりませんでしたが、子連れには脱衣所が狭く感じたのと脱衣所の仕切りがカーテンのみで不安だったのでフックを付けるなどしていただけると良いと思います。 お部屋は畳の部屋でした。TVや冷蔵庫は他の場所でシェアするので部屋にはほとんど備品はなく、さっぱりしています。家族4人(小学生1.幼児1)布団3枚で素泊まりの私たちには十分でしたが、布団4枚敷くのはつらいかもしれません。 また機会があればお世話になりたいと思います。
