Come to Shibamata with room for snacks.

Dorayaki filled with sweet red bean paste. Skewered dango. Freshly toasted senbei with that irresistible soy sauce aroma...

These aren't trendy foods created for social media. They're classic Japanese treats that feel completely at home among the traditional shops of Taishakuten Sando.

Our strategy? Don't choose just one. Share everything and keep walking.

📍From our Takasago house, Shibamata is just 2 minutes by train or around a 20-minute walk.

Festival food doesn't always have to be fried or sweet. We went for something wonderfully simple: a cold cucumber lightly brined with kombu seaweed and served on a stick.

Cool, salty, crunchy and very refreshing after walking around in the summer heat.

When you visit a Japanese matsuri, take a look beyond the familiar takoyaki and yakisoba stalls. Half the fun is trying whatever catches your eye.

During Shibamata Yoi Festa (Shibamata Evening Festival), Taishakuten Sando came alive with traditional music and dancers dressed in matching green yukata, performing along a red carpet leading toward Daikyoji Taishakuten Temple.

It's one of the things we love about Shibamata. Visit on an ordinary afternoon and you'll find a nostalgic Tokyo neighborhood. Come during a local celebration and suddenly the same familiar streets feel completely different.

Meet Tama-chan, the giant 3D calico cat watching over the crossing outside Shinjuku Station’s East Exit.

Explore for as long as everyone is having fun. Then, when the umbrellas are dripping and you’re ready to call it a day, head back to Takasago.

Tomorrow, Tokyo starts again.

Explore Tokyo. Come home to calm. ☔🏡

Even in the rain, Takesh*ta Street is still colorful, crowded and unmistakably Harajuku... just with a few more umbrellas.

And when everyone has had enough of wet shoes, umbrellas, and busy Tokyo streets?

Head back to Aoto.

A whole house means room to change into something comfortable, dry off, put on Netflix, make something warm to drink and simply stay in for the evening.

Because rainy days are part of traveling too, and sometimes they make having somewhere that feels like home even more important.

Among Yanaka's residential streets and temples, the large bronze Buddha at Tennoji Temple invites you to stop for a moment.
Yanaka is one of those Tokyo neighborhoods best explored without rushing—temples, old streets, small shops and everyday neighborhood life all exist side by side.
The further you walk, the more there is to notice.
📍Yanaka, near Nippori Station
🚆 Nippori is directly accessible from both Aoto and Takasago on the Keisei Line.

Some reviews mean a little more to us because they describe exactly the kind of hosts we hope to be.

We want our house to feel welcoming from the moment guests arrive—from having a home that works comfortably for families to leaving Japanese drinks and snacks for everyone to discover together.

Here’s what Leslie-san shared:

“They are the real deal. Family oriented, very kind and genuine and you can tell they love to host. It’s more than a business for them it’s something they’re passionate about. Their home layout was impeccable.

They left the best beverage and snack layout to give you a taste of the culture every morning. Thank you soo much”

Tokyo sightseeing involves a lot of walking, so after a day of temples, museums, shopping and train stations, a foot massage can sound pretty wonderful.
BIG FOOT is conveniently located right in front of Ryogoku Station, making it an easy place to give tired feet some attention before continuing your evening.
Future-you may be very grateful.

Think rickshaws are only for Asakusa?
You can experience Tokyo from a completely different perspective with Fukurouya Rickshaw in Yanaka.
Instead of the crowds around Senso-ji, your ride takes you through the streets of one of Tokyo's most atmospheric older neighborhoods while your guide introduces the area along the way.
Fukurouya also offers rickshaw experiences in Nihonbashi—another option if you've always wanted to try one somewhere beyond Asakusa.

🚆 Direct Keisei Line access from Aoto and Takasago to Nippori.

Kappabashi isn't only knives and kitchenware.
While walking through the neighborhood, we stopped at Yuukiss Mama Stained Glass—a colorful reminder to look beyond the shops Kappabashi is famous for.
You'll find independent makers and creative spaces tucked among the restaurant-supply stores, making this an area worth exploring slowly rather than simply shopping your way down the main street.
You never quite know what you'll find.
📍Kappabashi, Tokyo
