North Cottage | Shibuya Studio | Close to Meiji Shrine

✨ Highlights

North Cottage is a rare, self-contained private studio in one of Tokyo’s most sought-after central neighborhoods, just moments from Yoyogi Park and the gardens of Meiji Shrine 🌳⛩️. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac street, it offers a calm, local living experience while being exceptionally well connected to the rest of the city.

Studios like this are uncommon so close to Shinjuku and Shibuya. While compact (as expected in central Tokyo), the space is thoughtfully designed and has been carefully maintained over many years of hosting. It’s a well-loved home that continues to offer comfort, character, and excellent value for couples or solo travellers.

🏠 The Space

North Cottage is a fully private, self-contained studio attached to a family home, with its own separate entrance. The studio combines sleeping, living, and dining into one comfortable open space, offering an authentic Tokyo stay rather than a standard hotel room.

This home is best suited for 1–2 guests, providing a cozy and efficient layout that’s ideal for short city breaks or longer stays.

Please note: the studio is located next to the train line. While this makes getting around extremely convenient, some noise is audible when express trains pass. The studio is fitted with double glazing and a sound blanket, and many guests mention this balance positively in their reviews.

🛏 Sleeping Arrangements

The studio includes:

• One full-size double bed
• Tempur-Pedic memory foam topper for a comfortable night’s sleep 😴

All bedding is made prior to arrival, with fresh linens and towels provided.

A portable baby cot / crib is available on request at no extra charge 👶

🍳 Kitchen & Amenities

The kitchenette is equipped with everything needed for simple meals and daily living:

• Gas burner
• Microwave & toaster
• Coffee maker, rice cooker & kettle
• Fridge
• Cookware, crockery, and cutlery for two guests
• Complimentary coffee and tea ☕

Additional amenities include:

• Washing machine and clothes dryer inside the studio
• Private bathroom with bathtub and shower 🛁
• Fire TV Stick and cable TV with English-language channels 📺
• Fast home Wi-Fi suitable for streaming and remote work 📶

Due to the compact layout, luggage space is best suited for standard suitcases. For large luggage or sports gear, we recommend Japan’s reliable and affordable luggage delivery services.

👫 Ideal for Couples

North Cottage is especially popular with couples and solo travellers who want to stay somewhere quiet, well located, and genuinely local. Step outside and you’ll find bakeries, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and 24-hour convenience stores just minutes away 🥐☕🛒
