Samurai House | Classic Family Home in Shinjuku

We stayed for 7 nights between May 9th and 16th. Ash greeted us and explained all the necessary information. There were 9 of us. The house was exactly as in the photos. It was a lovely experience for us.

Lovely to stay

Ww stayed at the Saurai House in Jan 25. It is located in a quiet street close to the train station and shops. The houseis great for families as it has everything you need and is well presented. The host Tracey and Ash were great. Great communication and were extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure we were looked after. We would definitely stay there again.

Great house and host.

There were 8 of us in our party, ranging from 3 to 74 years old: the whole family. Samurai House was in a great location, with quiet streets, plenty of restaurant and eating options, and close to the subway station. The house was generously proportioned and well equipped with almost everything we needed. We stayed a week and were sorry to leave, it had become our Japanese home away from home.

Great place to stay

Ash was so accommodating! He met us at the train station and gave us a thorough introduction to visiting Japan. When our travel plans were thwarted by a typhoon, he no only extended our stay at Samurai House but found us alternate housing for an additional nights. Samurai was a great experience and wonderful location for getting around. I had my doubts about 1 bath for 5 people but it seemed to work out fine. I would recommend any of the properties owned by these folks; they are attentive to details of the traveler offer loads of information about the area.

Perfect Host and Perfect Home

My three kids and I had a very comfortable stay! The floor plan of this home allowed us to spread out and have our own space. Easy to get around with the nearest train station and great places to eat within walking distance 5 or so minutes away.
