Who this house is for
A good fit
- Groups of 5–30 who want their own front doors: book two, three or all eight units in one building
- Families of up to 4 per unit — a bed, a sofa bed, a kitchen and a washing machine in the room
- Travellers who want Asakusa, Ueno and the Skytree in fifteen minutes without paying central-Tokyo rates
- Longer stays that need to cook and do laundry without leaving the building
- Anyone who would rather walk to an iris garden and the Arakawa riverbank than to a shopping street
- Guests who want a licensed hotel rather than a short-term rental, but with nothing to wait in line for
Not the right place
- Guests who want to be inside the Yamanote loop — this is east Tokyo, about fifteen minutes out
- Groups who want one shared living room; each unit is self-contained, so a party of 12 is split across three units
- Travellers who want hotel-style daily housekeeping, room service or a staffed lobby
- Parties and events — this is a residential street and house rules prohibit them
8 units, and how a group actually uses them
Each unit is a complete small home rather than a hotel room: its own front door, kitchen, bathtub and washing machine. Nothing is shared except the entrance and the stairs. That is why a group of eight or twelve can stay here without anyone sleeping in a living room — you simply take two or three units on the same floors.
| Floor | Units |
|---|---|
| Ground floor | Intervia Horikiri 101, 102, 103 |
| Second floor | Intervia Horikiri 201, 202, 203 |
| Third floor | Intervia Horikiri 301, 302 |
All 8 units have the same layout and equipment. Ground and second-floor units are finished in light wood; third-floor units are navy with a sloped ceiling. There is no lift, so ask for 101 or 102 if stairs are a problem.
What is in every unit
- A bed plus a sofa bed — six units have a double bed and sleep up to 4; two smaller units have a single bed
- Kitchenette with a two-burner gas stove, fridge, microwave, oven toaster, electric kettle, rice cooker, cookware and tableware
- Dining table with seating
- Private bathroom with bathtub, a separate toilet, and a vanity
- A washing machine inside the unit — not a shared laundry room
- Wall-mounted TV, air conditioning, steam iron and ironing board, hair dryer, cordless vacuum
- Self check-in — go straight to your unit
Example: three families, ten guests
Take three units on three floors. Each family cooks its own breakfast, runs its own laundry and closes its own door, and you all meet in the entrance hall on the way to the station. No one is sleeping on a sofa in someone else's room.
A licensed hotel with none of the waiting. Self check-in, whatever time the train gets in.
Horikiri: the station that goes to both airports
Horikiri is a quiet residential part of Katsushika City, on the old east side of Tokyo. Its value is the station. Keisei Horikiri is a junction where the Keisei Main Line meets the Oshiage Line, which means direct trains to Narita Airport in one direction and, through the Toei Asakusa and Keikyu lines, direct trains to Haneda in the other. Arriving and leaving Tokyo never involves dragging suitcases across a transfer.
Asakusa is 15 minutes away and Ueno 15, so Senso-ji, the Skytree, Ameyoko and the Yanaka backstreets are all short rides. Shibuya and Shinjuku are on the far side of the city — this is a base for the Tokyo of temples, river and downtown streets rather than the Tokyo of crossings and department stores. The building itself sits on a residential street, so nights are quiet.
Getting here from the airports
- Narita (NRT): about 65 minutes by train to Horikiri-shobuen Station; one change at Aoto, the next station along the Keisei Line.
- Haneda (HND): about 60 minutes by train to Horikiri-shobuen Station; also one change at Aoto, onto the through service to the Keikyu Line.
Daily needs are covered on foot: convenience store 2 min, supermarket 5 min, drugstore 5 min, with cafes and restaurants throughout the area.
One unit versus one hotel room
Nightly pricing is dynamic and depends on your dates, so the booking page is the only accurate source for cost. What does not change is what you get for the same night in a business hotel room of a similar price in Tokyo:
| Intervia Horikiri | A typical Tokyo business hotel room | |
|---|---|---|
| Guests per room | Up to 4 — double bed plus a sofa bed | 2, or 3 with an extra bed fee |
| Cooking | Kitchenette with two burners, fridge, microwave, rice cooker | None; every meal is eaten out |
| Laundry | A washing machine inside your own unit | Coin laundry on another floor, or a laundry fee |
| Bathing | Private bathroom with a full bathtub | Usually a unit bath, sometimes shower only |
| A group of 12 | 3 units in one building, one arrival, one address | 6 rooms, possibly on different floors |
| Airport transfer | Direct trains to Narita and Haneda, no change | Depends entirely on the hotel's location |
Rates are set dynamically by season, lead time and occupancy. The Booking.com listing always shows the exact total for your dates. If you want several units on the same nights, message us — the building only has 8, so groups tend to book well ahead.

Questions groups ask before booking
Can we book more than one unit?
Yes — that is what the building is for. Each of the eight units is booked separately and most sleep up to 4, so a group of 8 takes two units, 12 takes three, and a large party can take the whole building. Everyone is under one roof and up one staircase, but each party has its own door, kitchen, bathroom and washing machine. If you want several units on the same dates, message us through Booking.com listing and we will check what is open.
How does check-in work?
Check-in is self-service, so you can arrive whenever your train gets in — no queue and no waiting for someone to hand over a key. Access details are sent through Booking.com listing before you arrive, and we answer messages before and during your stay.
What is in each unit?
A bed and a sofa bed — six of the eight units have a double bed and sleep up to 4, and two smaller units have a single bed — plus a kitchenette with a two-burner gas stove, fridge, microwave, oven toaster, kettle and rice cooker, a dining table, a private bathroom with a bathtub, a separate toilet, and a washing machine. Nothing is shared with other guests except the entrance and the stairs.
Can we do laundry?
Yes, inside your own unit. Every unit has its own washing machine, so there is no coin laundry to find and no queue for a shared machine. There is a drying rack in the unit; on a week-long trip this is usually the difference between one suitcase and two.
How do we get to the airports?
Horikiri-shobuen is on the Keisei Main Line, one stop from Aoto where the airport services run. Narita takes roughly 65 minutes and Haneda about 60, changing once at Aoto. If you are arriving late, note that the last airport trains matter more than the journey time — message us and we will tell you what works for your flight.
Is it suitable for babies?
One high chair, one bed-in-bed infant bed and a toilet training seat are available on request — ask when you book, as there is one set for the building. The building has three floors and stairs but no lift, so if you are travelling with a pushchair, ask for a ground-floor unit (101, 102 or 103).
Is this a hotel or a short-term rental?
A hotel. All eight units are licensed under Japan's Hotels and Inns Business Act by Katsushika City, which is a stricter category than the 180-night private-lodging registration most short-term rentals in Tokyo operate under. It just happens to be a hotel you check yourself into, with a full kitchen and washing machine in every room.
What is around Horikiri?
Horikiri is a quiet residential part of Katsushika on Tokyo's old east side. The station is named after Horikiri Shobuen, the iris garden that draws crowds every June, and the Arakawa riverbank is a short walk for a run or a view of the Skytree. A convenience store is 2 minutes away and a supermarket about 5. Asakusa and Ueno are both about 15 minutes by train.
How do we book?
Through Booking.com listing, which shows live availability and the total price for your dates. If you need several units at once, message us and we will help line up the dates.
