TOKYO / ITABASHI
67Hotel Itabashi Honmachi
67Hotel Itabashi Honmachi
Moving into the lived-in streets of Shimizucho: first work out how three people will sleep and how a large suitcase will be carried.
Suited to People Who Want a Kitchen and Are Willing to Arrange Life Themselves
- Rooms A to N are all listed at 23㎡, with one double bed plus one sofa bed, for up to three people.
- About a 9-minute walk from Itabashi-honcho Station; take the Mita Line into the city, and leave time for the trip there and back in your itinerary.
- Self check-in; travelling as three, staying on a high floor, or bringing a large suitcase means thinking one step further when choosing a room.
If you come to Tokyo and don’t just want to rush between sights every day, but also want to buy some ingredients and eat a simple meal in the room, I would put 67Hotel Itabashi Honmachi on the comparison list. It’s in Shimizucho, Itabashi-ku, welcoming guests with apartment-style space with a kitchen, and nearby everyday supplies are also a plus guests often mention.
The trade-offs here are concrete: the room is 23㎡, but three people still sleep on one double bed plus one sofa bed; and the subway is a walk away, not just around the corner from the station exit. It is very practical for people who want a lived-in stay, but for people who carry big bags of shopping every day and come back late, stamina has to be counted in too.
I would first choose a floor by party size and luggage, then decide whether this kitchen is needed. Arranging the sleeping setup, how to get in, and each day’s route will make for a more comfortable stay than just looking at “sleeps three”.
Getting Around: Plan Around Itabashi-honcho Station, Not as if It Were Next to JR Itabashi Station
The address is 50-13 Shimizucho, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo, near Itabashi-honcho Station on the Toei Mita Line, about a 9-minute walk. I would use the subway station plus this walk as the baseline for daily trips; on the first arrival dragging a suitcase, leave a little extra time to find the way.
Itabashi-honcho, JR Itabashi, and Itabashikuyakushomae are different stations, so select the full station name when checking routes. The property’s location suits connecting to Tokyo itineraries via the Mita Line first; don’t see the characters for Itabashi and assume you’ll walk to a JR train every day.
The station’s ground-level lifts are on the A1 and A3 side, and which one to use depends on the platform you’re travelling from. I would follow the signs inside the station to a lift first, then arrange the walk at ground level, rather than dragging a large suitcase up stairs to save a little distance.
The walk from the station to the property is a stretch, and carrying things inside the building needs separate thought. Some guests mention there is no lift and that carrying large luggage upstairs is inconvenient; if you need a low floor, put the floor into your conditions when choosing a room, rather than only wondering how to carry things on the night you arrive.
Rooms A to N: Same Area, but the Floor Matters More Than the Letter
Rooms A to N are all listed at 23㎡, with windows, non-smoking, one double bed and one sofa bed, for up to three people. Different letters do not mean the area increases; I would focus the choice on floor, party size, and the actual sleeping setup.
Travelling as two, you can keep the sofa as a place to sit and rest during the day; with three staying, the sofa bed has to be opened out, and the area where you could sit and chat also becomes sleeping space. A 23㎡ room has to hold luggage, a kitchen, and three people’s activities at once, so don’t look at the area alone and picture a spacious three-bed room.
B and C are listed on the 1st floor; D, E, F, and G on the 2nd floor; H, I, J, and K on the 3rd floor; L, M, and N on the 4th floor. Travelling with children, with heavier luggage, or finding stairs difficult, I would compare low floors first; if you prefer another floor, also think about how many times you go in and out each day.
With three adults travelling together, I would first ask how sleeping works once the sofa bed is opened out and how bedding for three is prepared. Some guests found the sofa bed uncomfortable to sleep on, and others mentioned bedding arrangements that didn’t match expectations; if everyone wants a proper bed of their own, compare three-bed rooms directly, and don’t let the third person’s sleep become a compromise.
With a Kitchen and Refrigerator, Good for Keeping One or Two Meals in the Room
Each room type’s facilities list a kitchen, refrigerator, in-room Wi-Fi, and heating, which is very useful for people who don’t want to eat out for every meal. I would buy simple ingredients before the day’s itinerary ends, come back to heat a meal or sort out the next day’s drinks, and make the room more than just a place to sleep.
A guest who stayed in room type E mentioned a microwave, washing machine, and small appliances, and a guest in type C also liked that the kitchen allowed simple cooking. If you plan to do laundry every day or cook particular meals, ask directly when booking about the facilities and supplies for the letter room type you choose, and you can pack more accurately.
The benefit of a kitchen is flexibility; you don’t have to cook seriously every day. On a tired evening of travel, buying a simple meal, sitting down to eat it, and then tidying up may be easier than taking an extra train ride to find a restaurant. Cleaning up straight after use also stops smells and packaging taking over the living space.
No Breakfast Served: Eat in the Morning at Your Own Pace
67Hotel Itabashi Honmachi does not serve breakfast. I would treat it as a stay where mornings are arranged freely: buy bread, drinks, or other simple food the night before, and after waking you don’t have to rush for a hotel breakfast service time.
If you want hot food, you can use your own kitchen or go out for breakfast. If you have to leave very early in the morning, I would prepare things the night before, to avoid having to go out of your way early in the morning to find a shop that is open.
This arrangement suits people who don’t necessarily eat a full breakfast every day; if you expect to go downstairs after waking and eat a ready buffet, compare the convenience of meal service with the apartment living space together.
Everyday Life Nearby: Easy to Stock Up, Suited to a Short Tokyo Stay with a Fixed Destination
Guests repeatedly mention convenience stores, supermarkets, and restaurants nearby, which, for a stay with a kitchen, is more practical than having to go to a large shopping centre every evening. I would buy drinks, fruit, and a simple breakfast in one go, with fewer trips back and forth to stock up.
This area has the everyday feel of a residential neighbourhood. Some like that the environment is quiet and everyday amenities are complete, while others feel it is far from the main sightseeing areas. If you are visiting friends or family who live nearby, or want a fixed daily commute, this location fits more easily.
If you fill every day with Shinjuku, Shibuya, or different far-flung sights, I would check both the outward and return trips first, then decide whether to stay here. Don’t just look at the one trip from the airport to the property on the first day; after several nights in a row, how each day’s trip there and back feels matters more.
Self Check-In: Read How to Get In First, and a Late Arrival Will Be Much Easier
General check-in is 15:00 to 24:00, check-out before 11:00, and check-in information is sent after booking. The flexibility of self check-in suits people who don’t want complicated front-desk procedures, but you need to first understand how the main door and the room door open.
Some guests found the instructions clear and check-in smooth, while others took considerable effort to get in when arriving late. I would save the check-in instructions before departure, put the information you need somewhere easy to find, and keep your phone well charged; for anything you don’t understand about operating it, contacting them early will be more relaxed.
For one or two nights, I would focus on the arrival route and the sleeping setup; staying longer is when the value of the kitchen, refrigerator, and everyday supplies really comes out. People who have no time to spend in the room each day don’t necessarily need to change their most convenient transport location for apartment facilities.
Travelling with children, children are welcome here; families who will use the sofa bed, extra bedding, or a baby cot should agree the arrangements first. Also think about whether a stroller, children, and a large suitcase can all go up and down stairs easily together, and don’t spend all the energy for looking after children on carrying luggage.
Trade-offs I Would Consider: Cleanliness, the Sofa Bed, and How Fast They Respond
Feelings about cleanliness and facilities differ: some guests praise the cleanliness and complete appliances, while others mention the sofa fabric, bedding, bathroom smells, or air-conditioning noise. For people particularly sensitive to smells and sounds, these can be put ahead of area when choosing a room.
This is a self check-in property, so the experience of contacting them for service is different too. Some travellers found responses quick, while others felt that when help was needed later, it wasn’t easy to deal with immediately; I would sort out anything that needs in-person help first and ask clearly before arrival.
For one or two people, a 23㎡ kitchen apartment more easily keeps living space; with three sharing, the sofa bed and bedding arrangements become the key to comfort. If someone sleeping badly would affect the whole trip, I would look after that need first, then weigh the room’s facilities.
Strengths and Trade-offs, Compared by Party Size
| Aspect | Strengths | Trade-offs to accept |
|---|---|---|
| Space | 23㎡, with a kitchen and refrigerator, suited to simple living | Three guests share a double bed and a sofa bed |
| Room type | Letter room types can be chosen by floors 1 to 4 | Stamina for large suitcases and stairs has to be considered together |
| Location | Itabashi-honcho Station connects to the Mita Line | About 9 minutes from the station to the property; sightseeing trips there and back need time left over |
| Meals | Simple meals can be arranged in the room yourself | No breakfast served; early departures need self-preparation |
| Check-in | Self check-in possible after receiving the instructions | Late arrival or trouble operating things means contacting them yourself |
| Longer stays | Kitchen and everyday supplies give flexibility | Cleanliness, bedding, and appliance needs have to match the room choice |
How to Decide in the End: Best for People Who Will Actually Use the Living Space
If you want to stay in a Tokyo residential neighbourhood, have friends or family nearby or a fixed itinerary, and are willing to prepare one or two meals yourself, I would put 67Hotel Itabashi Honmachi on the comparison list. The benefits of 23㎡ and a kitchen are felt more by people willing to leave time in the room.
My order of choice would be party size and sleeping setup, a suitable floor, then each day’s transport. Two people can keep the sofa for resting; three people should first agree the sofa bed and bedding; only when these things are arranged can you know whether it suits your short Tokyo stay.
