Obsessed is an understatement—Tokyo’s Airbnbs are basically your front-row tickets to living like a local, minus the commute. Whether you’re here for the neon-lit chaos of Shibuya or the zen vibes of Setagaya, these rentals blend modern luxury with traditional Japanese soul. Pro tip: Book early, especially around New Year—these spots are always booked.
First up: A three-story gem in Setagaya with a handmade wooden staircase and a balcony that’s basically your own private patio. It’s all about soft lighting, jute rugs, and that calming ahhh factor. Bonus? The washer/dryer and a projector for movie nights. Think of it as your cozy base for exploring the neighborhood’s vintage shops and tiny bars.
If you’re craving a spa-like retreat, the Nishisugamo rental is your vibe. Picture this: a hinoki (cypress) bath, a tea ceremony space, and a backyard where you can actually buy Japanese art. It’s like staying in a luxury inn, but with a private balcony and free parking. Just request a private chef for a dinner that’ll make you forget you’re in a city.
For group vibes, the Shibuya mansion with six bedrooms and a wall projector is your go-to. It’s like a mini resort—think yoga in the sunroom, outdoor dining, and free parking. Pro tip: Split the group into different rooms so no one’s fighting over the Wi-Fi.
💫 Located near Takeshita Street, it’s got a private sauna with a cypress plunge tub and a Japanese-style onsen bath.
And if you’re into bohemian energy, the Harajuku spot is a dream. Located near Takeshita Street, it’s got a private sauna with a cypress plunge tub and a Japanese-style onsen bath. After a day of shopping, unwind in the heated bathroom—your skin will thank you.
Key takeaway? Prioritize locations near train stations for easy travel, hunt for homes with traditional elements like tatami mats or onsen baths, and always check if they’ve got a smart lock (because yes).
