Hong House: Your Home Away From Home in Tokyo's Beating Heart

Tucked away in the residential, leafy neighbourhood of Nakaochiai in Shinjuku, Hong House offers a uniquely serene and spacious alternative to the compact hotel rooms typically found in Tokyo. This self-contained apartment is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a fully-equipped urban retreat designed for travellers who value space, privacy, and the authentic feel of living like a local.

A Space Designed for Real Comfort

From the moment you enter through your private entrance, Hong House impresses with its thoughtful layout and homely amenities. The open-plan living area, complete with a comfortable sofa and dining space, is a genuine ‘living room’ where you can unwind after a day of exploration. The well-appointed kitchen is a standout feature, boasting a refrigerator, microwave, oven, stove, and even a washing machine—perfect for preparing simple meals or handling laundry on longer stays.

The comfort extends to the bedroom with quality linens and the modern private bathroom, which includes both a bath and a separate shower. For an extra touch of relaxation, the property features a hot tub (jacuzzi), a rare luxury in city accommodations. Perhaps the best feature is the private balcony, a tranquil spot to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the quiet city views of local life—a perfect "place to relax and daydream."

Why Choose Hong House?

Hong House excels by providing what many Tokyo visitors crave: space and autonomy. It’s ideal for families, small groups, or couples seeking a respite from the city’s frenetic pace without being isolated. The inclusion of free private parking (by reservation) is a significant advantage for those planning road trips. Thoughtful touches like free toiletries, slippers, free WiFi throughout, and even board games underscore its commitment to guest comfort. Managed by hosts who speak English, Japanese, and Chinese, communication is seamless.

Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

• Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden: A short train ride away, this sprawling park is one of Tokyo's most beautiful. It masterfully blends traditional Japanese landscape gardens with formal French and English gardens. It’s the perfect place for a peaceful stroll, especially during cherry blossom season or autumn.

• Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane): Experience old-school Tokyo in this network of narrow alleys right by Shinjuku Station. Packed with tiny yakitori (grilled skewer) stalls, each emitting fragrant smoke and buzzing with salarymen and tourists alike, it offers an unforgettable and authentic dining experience in a uniquely atmospheric setting.

• Samurai Museum: Located in the heart of Shinjuku, this interactive museum offers a fascinating dive into Japan’s warrior culture. You can see authentic armour and swords up close, enjoy live sword performances, and even dress up in samurai gear for memorable photos—a great activity for all ages.

In a city known for its efficient but often cramped lodgings, Hong House stands out as a sanctuary of space and convenience. It offers the practical comforts of home alongside the authentic charm of Tokyo neighbourhood life, making it an exceptional base for your Japanese adventure.
