One house. Six bedrooms.
Your whole group, together in central Tokyo.

Sixteen is where Airbnb's booking form stops, not where the house stops. There are 12 double beds — 10 across the six bedrooms and 2 sofa double beds in the ground-floor living room — so two to a bed is 24 people. Message us with your exact party before you book and we will set it up for you. The honest version: around 16 is where the house still feels roomy, with most couples and family units getting a room of their own. Above that people share beds, and the kitchen and bathrooms get busy at the same hours. It works — groups do it — but decide that as a group rather than discovering it on arrival. Grandparents or anyone who would rather avoid stairs can sleep on the ground floor next to a bathroom.

Eight: a bed each in the six bedrooms — Bedrooms 2, 3, 5 and 6 have two double beds, Bedrooms 1 and 4 have one — so every couple or pair of friends gets a room, and the ground floor stays free. Ten: one person in each of the ten upstairs beds. Twelve: the ten upstairs beds plus the two sofa beds in the ground-floor living room, still one person per bed; or two couples share and the ground floor stays free. Sixteen: six beds shared, six single — this is the size the house was furnished for. Up to 24: two to every bed, including the sofa beds. The booking form stops at 16, so message us first.

Yes. The six bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors, but the ground floor is a complete home on one level: the living room has two sofas that open into double beds, and the bathroom with its bathtub, a separate toilet, the powder room and the kitchen are all on the same floor. Grandparents, anyone with a bad knee, or a family member recovering from surgery can sleep, wash and eat downstairs while the rest of the group takes the bedrooms above. Ask us before booking if you need the ground-floor sofa beds prepared. There is a step up from the entrance into the house, as in most Japanese homes.

Yes. That is what the twelve double beds are for, and it is the reason groups this size end up here rather than in four or five hotel rooms. Airbnb's form will not let you select more than 16, so send us a message with your dates and the exact number of adults and children, and we will arrange the booking and the bed layout. At that size expect to share beds and to take turns in the kitchen in the morning — three bathrooms and a toilet on every floor is what keeps it workable.

The house is in Kitasando, Shibuya City — a 3-minute walk from Kitasando Station on the Fukutoshin Line, 2 minutes by train from Shinjuku-sanchome and Meiji-jingumae (Harajuku) and 4 minutes from Shibuya. Like most private vacation rentals, the exact street address and door access details are shared with confirmed guests through Airbnb after booking.

Yes — two baby cribs, two folding high chairs, baby bibs, a bottle-cleaning kit and a supply of toys and picture books are kept in the house, so families can pack lighter. The surrounding streets are calm, and Yoyogi Park is within reach for stroller walks.

Self check-in — arrival instructions provided before your stay, which matters when a large group lands at different times. Guests rate the check-in experience 5.0. Instructions arrive through Airbnb before arrival.

Three bathrooms and three toilets. The ground floor has a bathroom with bathtub and a separate toilet; the second floor has a unit bathroom with bathtub and toilet plus a separate shower room; the third floor has its own toilet. With one toilet on every floor and three places to wash, a group of 10–12 does not queue in the morning.

Yes — and it is one of the main reasons families on 5+ night trips choose the house. The two drum-type washer-dryers wash and dry in a single cycle: load the clothes, press start, and walk away. Start a load before you head out in the morning and everything is clean, dry and ready to fold when you come back at night — no waiting for the wash to finish so you can move it to a dryer. With two machines, a group can do everyone's clothes every day, so half the suitcase stays home.

No. The house sits on a quiet residential street and house rules prohibit parties and events. It is the right base for groups who are out exploring by day and want a calm place to cook, talk and sleep — not a venue.

Kitasando is a residential district; evenings are genuinely quiet, which guests mention repeatedly in reviews. Shinjuku and Shibuya's nightlife are a short train ride away — you visit it, then leave it behind.

Pricing is dynamic — it changes with the season, how far ahead you book, and current occupancy — so the only accurate number is the total shown on the Airbnb listing for your exact dates and group size. When comparing, put that total next to the combined cost of the 4–5 hotel rooms your group would otherwise need, not a single room. Entire houses for 10+ guests are rare in central Tokyo, so for school holidays and peak weeks, booking early is the real way to get a better rate.

All booking and payment goes through the Airbnb listing, which shows live availability and total prices for your dates and group size.
