Comfort Hasunuma
Like Japanese-style sleeping first, then choose this apartment for living together

I would first check that the whole group accepts this sleeping arrangement
- Hon-Hasunuma Station is about 460 metres, 7 minutes away; JR Akabane Station is about 1.9 km away — measure the two separately.
- 57 sqm, two bedrooms plus a living room, up to 8 people; sleeping is mainly Japanese mattresses and sofa beds.
- There is a kitchen, microwave and laundry facilities; code self check-in requires contacting the property two days ahead.
If you want to stay in one place with family or friends and like Japanese-style space, I would put Comfort Hasunuma on the comparison list. This 57 sqm two-bedroom apartment has striking cherry-blossom and fireworks decor, plus living facilities for preparing your own food, doing laundry and sorting luggage.
But I would first ask everyone whether they are willing to sleep on Japanese mattresses. The setup for up to eight people includes four sets of Japanese bedding across the two bedrooms, plus sofa beds and Japanese bedding in the living room — not eight raised single beds. Once bedding is laid out at night, the daytime common space also becomes a sleeping area.
It suits families and friends who are willing to share tasks and adapt to each other’s rhythms better. People who value the Hon-Hasunuma station distance and want to arrange their own life over several nights can consider it; if you need bed height, separate rooms, or to keep using the living room late at night, compare further.
Location and transport: Hon-Hasunuma Station, about a 7-minute walk — do not mistake Akabane for the doorstep
The address is 60-2 Hasunuma-cho, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo, mainly using Hon-Hasunuma Station on the Toei Mita Line, about 460 metres, a 7-minute walk. Once the stay is booked, I would keep the full address and check-in information in one place, and navigate by address on the first visit, rather than relying only on the English property name to search the streets.
| Transport | Walking reference | How I would choose |
|---|---|---|
| Hon-Hasunuma Station | About 460 metres, 7 minutes | Use the Mita Line as the main transport and plan transfers by destination |
| JR Akabane Station | About 1.9 km, 27 minutes | With JR plans, compare connections; do not treat dragging suitcases as a short trip |
| Luggage for a group | Allow extra time for moving inside the station and meeting up | Decide on one meeting point before entering the station, so the group does not scatter |
If most of this trip uses the Mita Line, I would plan entries and exits around Hon-Hasunuma first. Even seeing Akabane nearby, do not treat the two stations as the same distance; with large suitcases, rain, or children, an extra kilometre or two directly affects your energy on arrival day.
For a day’s plan I would group things by direction, bring everything needed when heading out, and sort things on returning in the evening. People who like returning to the stay for a midday rest should count the return walk and train ride together, and choose a transport option they are genuinely willing to use every day.
A 57 sqm two-bedroom apartment: sleeping happily on Japanese bedding is what makes it comfortable
This is a 57 sqm two-bedroom apartment for up to 8 people. The two bedrooms hold four sets of Japanese mattresses in total, and the living room has two sofa beds plus two sets of Japanese mattresses; if you expect eight raised single beds, the sleeping style here is quite different.
| Space | Layout | How to arrange it |
|---|---|---|
| Two bedrooms | 4 sets of Japanese mattresses in total | Split into sleeping groups first, considering who needs to rest earlier |
| Living room | 2 sofa beds + 2 sets of Japanese mattresses | When someone sleeps in the living room, shared evening activities need to end earlier |
| Whole unit | 57 sqm, up to 8 people | After laying out bedding, leave a passage; do not spread suitcases across the floor |
| Children staying | Children welcome; no extra beds or baby cots | Arrange care and sleeping positions around the existing bedding |

I would first ask fellow travellers whether they are willing to sleep on floor bedding, especially older travellers, people with sore knees, or anyone who cares about bed height. People who like tatami can gain a little more activity space by putting bedding away in the daytime; but once it is laid out at night, the floor also becomes a sleeping area, so watch your step when getting up at night.
The room’s cherry-blossom, fireworks and Japanese decor is very striking, and people who like a themed atmosphere will feel it more. For family or friends, I would treat it as a choice for experiencing Japanese living space together; if everyone wants to keep a fully independent rhythm, accept the arrangement of only two bedrooms and a shared living room.
Kitchen, bathtub and laundry: keeping everyday life simple on a longer stay
The kitchen in the photos has a sink, hob and counter, and the room type also lists a fridge, microwave and air conditioning. Heating food simply in the morning and buying a little something to eat in the evening is more flexible than making the whole group gather outside for every meal; I would prepare food that is easy to handle and easy to clear away after eating.

The bathroom has a bathtub and shower, with laundry facilities beside the washbasin. Staying a few nights and wanting to pack fewer clothes, you can wash and put away in batches; with many people, stagger baths and washing up, so everyone is not queuing together when already tired.

Photos of the washing machine help in understanding its position and operating space. I would separate dark and light colours and the clothes needed each day first, then arrange laundry times. Keeping clothes, towels and toiletries each in their own place stops the common area from quickly being filled with everyone’s things.
Check-in is by code self check-in, after 16:00, with checkout before 10:00, and requires contacting the property two days ahead with arrival time and identity information. Doing this before departure is easier than looking for the code at the door; if fellow travellers arrive separately, also agree in advance who receives and passes on the check-in instructions.
Breakfast is self-arranged: prepare simple food first, so the whole group need not rush in the morning
Comfort Hasunuma does not serve breakfast. I would use the kitchen, fridge and microwave to prepare food bought the day before simply; with some rising early and others wanting to sleep longer, eating in batches makes mornings more flexible.
If catching a train early today, I would prepare breakfast and drinking water the night before, and put away bedding and luggage no longer needed. To eat out while seated, also plan by the direction of departure, and do not make a special trip back to the stay just for breakfast.
When several people share the kitchen, the most practical approach is preparing small amounts and clearing up right after eating. The value here is being able to control your own rhythm, without turning the morning of the trip into a big project of everyone taking turns cooking.
What to do nearby: a riverside stroll in Itabashi can be a slower day
If you want to leave a day in a Tokyo trip without constantly touring shopping areas, you can fit a stroll around Itabashi in. There are pleasant slow-walking stretches along the Shakujii River, and the old Nakasendo road and the “Itabashi” bridge area can fit into the same afternoon; I would pick a start and end point first, then decide which station to use.
The “Itabashi” introduced in Itabashi-ku guides stands on the Shakujii River, reachable on foot from Itabashi-Honcho or Itabashi-Kuyakusho-mae Station; just because the stay is in Itabashi-ku, do not treat every sight as being on the doorstep. With children and older travellers, I would pick short strolls, eat after walking, then return, rather than demanding the whole river in one go.
With JR plans you can also compare connections toward Akabane, but arrange the final stretch of transport first. The smoothest use of the stay is to fit shopping and outings along the return route, then rest together, do laundry and sort tomorrow’s things on returning.
Short and longer stays: whether you accept Japanese-style sleeping matters more than the maximum headcount
A night or two experiencing a Japanese apartment suits people willing to lay out and put away bedding together; staying several nights, the kitchen and laundry facilities become more useful. I would give everyone a fixed luggage corner, so bedding at night does not require constant moving around.
At full occupancy of eight, someone also sleeps in the living room, so agree on evening chatting and wake-up times first. If someone heads out early, prepare clothes and a small bag the night before, so mornings do not involve rummaging through large suitcases beside everyone; people wanting to sleep later are also less disturbed.
Quiet hours run from 21:00 to 08:00, and smoking is not allowed indoors. If a friends’ group is used to chatting late into the night, I would rein in volume and activity times a little; the common area is shared by everyone, and the night is shared with nearby residents too.
With children, do not read “children welcome” as extra bed space — this unit provides no extra beds or baby cots. First confirm where the carer sleeps and how a child walks at night, then decide whether the current setup suits this group.
Pros and cons: living facilities included, but accept floor bedding and a shared living room
| Aspect | Advantages | Trade-offs to accept |
|---|---|---|
| Space | A 57 sqm two-bedroom, so a group can stay together | Up to 8 people including living-room sleeping spots — not 8 separate beds |
| Sleeping | Japanese mattresses give a tatami living feel | Sitting down and getting up is lower, and bedding laid out at night takes up floor space |
| Facilities | Kitchen, microwave, laundry and bathtub included | Share the tidying after use, so others are not affected |
| Transport | Hon-Hasunuma Station, about a 7-minute walk | Akabane Station is farther; do not treat dragging suitcases as a short trip |
| Check-in | Code self check-in lets you arrange entries and exits yourself | Contact two days ahead; checkout before 10:00 |
| Daily rhythm | Can live to fellow travellers’ rhythms | Quiet from 21:00 to 08:00; living-room sleeping spots need mutual coordination |
Who would I recommend it to?
I would recommend it to families or friends who like tatami, are willing to sleep on Japanese bedding, and want kitchen and laundry facilities. Allocate bedroom and living-room sleeping spots first, then agree each day’s transport and evening rhythm, and this unit is easier to enjoy comfortably.
If you need raised beds, a separate room for each person, or to keep chatting in the living room late at night, I would compare other stays. The key question for Comfort Hasunuma is whether everyone can accept this way of living together — not just how many people 57 sqm can hold.
