Ichigo House Otsuka
Ichigo House Otsuka has two very different accommodation types: an 18 m² room for two and a 70 m² three-bedroom family apartment for up to eight. The larger room’s photos and beds should not be assumed to apply to the smaller one.
Location and luggage
The listing gives Ichigo House, 6-25-5 Otsuka, Bunkyo, Tokyo. Higashi-Ikebukuro-yonchome tram stop is about 610 m away, a nine-minute walk. This tram stop is not the same station as the Yurakucho Line’s Higashi-Ikebukuro Metro station, so choose your actual arrival mode before planning lift access.
Rooms and bedding
The 18 m² queen room lists one queen bed for two. The 70 m² family unit has three bedrooms and four double beds, accommodating up to eight. The family unit offers considerably more privacy and luggage space, but that does not make the smaller room a family option.
| Room | Area | Bedding |
|---|---|---|
| Queen Room | 18㎡ | 1 bedroom：1 queen bed | 1 living room；up to 2 guests |
| Family Room | 70㎡ | 3 bedroom：4 double bed | 1 living room；up to 8 guests |
Amenities and guest experience
Private parking is listed. Guests have liked the newer equipment and general comfort, but some found the public-transit walk longer than expected and one reported insufficient cleaning under the bed. Entry instructions should be secured ahead of arrival.
Breakfast
Breakfast is not provided. For a family, planning an easy meal before departure avoids an extra morning trip.
Nearby walks
Otsuka and the Higashi-Ikebukuro area provide everyday food and shopping choices; the route to Ikebukuro or central Tokyo depends on whether you use the tram, Metro or JR.
One night or several
Check-in starts after 16:00 and check-out is before 11:00, with self-check-in information obtained from the property. One or two guests may be happy with the 18 m² room; a family group should choose the 70 m² unit only after checking each bed.
Pros, cons and verdict
- + Clear choice of 18 m² or 70 m² layouts
- + Four double beds in the family unit
- + Recent equipment appreciated by some guests
- – Not immediately next to JR Ikebukuro
- – Some concerns about cleanliness
- – Must plan self check-in and exact transit stops
I would choose the family unit for a larger group and the small queen room for a brief two-person stay. The station distinction and bed count matter more than the building’s overall photographs.
