Feel at home at the new Residential Hotel IKIDANE Machiya in Tokyo!
So far IKIDANE NIPPON has opened several guesthouses in popular tourist spots like Asakusa in Tokyo, Namba in Osaka. Now, we have taken a step further and would like to introduce our own service apartments in the form of Residential Hotel IKIDANE Machiya in the downtown area of Machiya in Tokyo.
It's different from your regular hotel or guesthouse, family friendly and perfect for long stays.
Let's check out what makes this accommodation special.
Stylish, cozy rooms
Each room has been individually designed to suit modern Japanese as well as international tastes. With excellent soundproofing, you need not worry about any noises disturbing you! Spacious and new, you can truly feel relaxed in these wide, open rooms.
Some of the rooms offer a view of the Tokyo Skytree towering above the twinkling city lights, while from others, you can savor the sight of the massive metropolis that is Tokyo. Other than that, each room also has simple touches that will undoubtedly add to your Japanese experience!
What's great is that there are rooms for five or six people.
Most of these rooms that are ideal for families or a group of friends have two double beds and a sofa-cum-bed.
If you plan to be in Tokyo for a while, then you don't have to worry about the costly day-to-day activities of eating out or laundry!
At the Residential Hotel IKIDANE Machiya, each room comes with a refrigerator and a mini kitchen. You will also find basic kitchen utensils like frying pans, plates, cutlery as well as a microwave.
In addition to a bath and toilet, each room also has a washing machine. So it's perfect whether you are a family, couple, a solo traveler or just visiting on business.
Ideal for sightseeing and shopping
Machiya is known as one of Tokyo's shitamachi, basically a downtown area. Other than the glitz of Tokyo, one of the city's charms is finding old, wooden houses and restaurants that seem to transport you to the past. Machiya is wonderful if you want to experience the old and the new.
Machiya station, which is a 5-minute walk from the Residential Hotel, is well connected with three train lines - Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, Keisei Line and the Toden Arakawa Line, the only tram line in Tokyo.
