About an 8-minute walk from Kami-Itabashi Station, Huji Room 102 offers 25 sqm, a single bed plus a double bed, a kitchen and a washing machine; a guide to sleeping arrangements for two or three people, self check-in and reserved parking trade-offs.

First check how three people will sleep, then look at the kitchen and laundry
- Huji Room 102 is a 25 sqm ground-floor room with one single bed plus one double bed, for up to three people.
- Kitchen, refrigerator and washing machine suit multi-night daily living; breakfast is self-arranged.
- About 8 minutes from Kami-Itabashi Station; get the entry code in advance for self check-in, and free parking must be reserved.
For two or three people in Tokyo who want their own kitchen, washing machine and dining table, Huji Room 102 is one I would compare carefully. Staying near Kami-Itabashi, heading out in the daytime and buying something to eat back at the room in the evening gives the trip a simpler daily rhythm.
But three people travelling together need to accept first that two will share the double bed, and 25 sqm also requires managing luggage. Choosing the right sleeping arrangement and getting the entry instructions early will make the stay more comfortable than just looking at the equipment list.
About an 8-minute walk from Kami-Itabashi Station — look for Room 102 in Maison Maple
Huji is at Wakagi 1-7-16 in Itabashi Ward, Room 102 of Maison Maple. It is about 540 metres from Kami-Itabashi Station on the Tobu Tojo Line, roughly an 8-minute walk, and suits travellers who use Ikebukuro as their Tokyo base yet are happy to settle into a residential street. Before setting out, I would save the building name together with Room 102, so you do not arrive in the area with only the guesthouse name to look for.
Kami-Itabashi and JR Itabashi are not the same station. When planning your arrival, I would first connect by train via Kami-Itabashi Station and then add the final walking time; think about each day’s outings the same way, and do not treat the train ride alone as the whole journey time.
The room is on the ground floor, so once you arrive with luggage you do not have to hunt for it as though it were a high-rise room. The photos show the entrance and indoor storage area; on entering, I would put the suitcases down first, read the in-room instructions, and only then start unpacking, keeping the entrance route clear throughout.

Do everyday shopping nearby, and save a day for a walk in the park
The Wakagi and Kami-Itabashi area suits combining meals with supermarket and convenience-store shopping. With a kitchen and dining table in the room, picking up something you fancy on the way back, or bringing back food for the next morning, is easier than travelling to a major station every day just for dinner.
If you want a change of pace in the daytime, you can set aside separate time for Johoku Chuo Park. The park has children’s play areas, open squares and sports grounds, and works well as an outdoor walk in place of a shopping trip; I would treat it as its own small outing, and when travelling with children, judge the day’s energy first instead of cramming every nearby sight into one day.
On a day of shopping in Ikebukuro, you can head out in the daytime and return to Kami-Itabashi for dinner in the evening. The advantage of staying this way is returning to the same familiar neighbourhood for several days, so shopping and rest gradually find their own rhythm.
25 sqm, a single bed plus a double bed — sleeping arrangements differ for two and three people
This article covers Huji Room 102: 25 sqm, one bedroom plus one living room, on the ground floor, non-smoking and with a window. The beds are one single bed plus one double bed, for up to three people. Two friends who want separate beds can each use one; three adults travelling together need to accept first that two of them will share the double bed.
| Room 102 conditions | How it suits use | Points to think through first |
|---|---|---|
| 25 sqm, one bedroom plus a living room | Out in the daytime, back in the evening to eat and rest | Kitchen-dining and luggage still share the same space |
| One single bed + one double bed | Two people in separate beds, or three people assigned by bed type | Three people do not get three separate beds |
| Ground floor, with a window, non-smoking | Getting luggage to the room is more direct | After entering, first keep the entrance and bedside routes clear |
| No extra bed or baby cot can be added | Arrange family stays according to the existing beds | Children’s ages and the number of guests must all be entered in the booking |

In the photos, the bedroom and the kitchen-dining area are joined by a sliding door, and there is a television beside the bed; anyone who wants an early night can go back to the bedroom while the others clear the dining table. I like a layout where you do not have to eat sitting on the bed, but I would not imagine 25 sqm as a large apartment where every big suitcase can be spread out. With two or three people staying together, keeping one fixed spot for luggage works better.

The bathroom is a unit bathroom with the bathtub, washbasin and toilet in the same area. When bathing children or when two people both need to rush out, I would stagger the times rather than waiting until the last ten minutes to crowd in together. Whether the space works should be judged together with your daily habits, not only by how bright the photos look.

Kitchen, washing machine and dining table — for living simply over several nights
The room has a refrigerator, air conditioning, a television and free Wi-Fi, and the photos also show a kitchen hob, microwave, dining table and washing machine. If you want to sort breakfast simply and occasionally eat one meal in the room, this equipment is more useful than a few extra decorations. I would first check the appliances and instructions on site, then decide what ingredients to buy, without planning a full cooked meal every day.

The listing shows free private parking, but it must be reserved in advance. If you drive, I would confirm the parking arrangement first and then plan your arrival time, rather than assuming a space will always be waiting when you pull up. Free luggage storage is also listed; if you need to drop bags early or leave them after check-out, agreeing the time and handover in advance is more practical.
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is before 10:00, with self check-in that requires contacting the host for the entry code. After booking, I would deal with the messages first and save the code and the entry steps for Room 102. Some guests have praised the quick replies, but being able to find the instructions yourself the moment you arrive is still the least hassle.
No breakfast served — the kitchen sets your own morning rhythm
Huji does not serve breakfast, so I would arrange the first meal around my own departure time. For an early start, prepare simple food the night before; on days you sleep in, you can eat nearby or in Ikebukuro instead; there is no need to get up early to fit a fixed serving time.
Three people staying together do not necessarily all want breakfast at the same time. You can set the table and food out first so early risers eat first and the others prepare at their leisure; on check-out day, remember to leave before 10:00, and packing most of the luggage the night before makes the morning much easier.
An everyday-style stay for two or three people; longer stays make better use of the facilities
For just one night, I would first check whether Kami-Itabashi fits this trip’s route and how the double bed will be shared. If you accept the roughly eight-minute walk from the station and getting the code in advance, you can drop your luggage and rest on arrival; if the main purpose is to come back late at night and sleep for a few hours, the kitchen and washing machine may not even be used.
Over several nights, the daily-living equipment here becomes more valuable. Come back a little earlier one day to do laundry and buy a simple dinner, then head out light the next day; on other days, if you want to eat out, there is no need to force yourself to cook every day. Travelling with children or a lot of luggage, I would choose the number of guests and beds conservatively, so 25 sqm still leaves room to move around.
House rules require quiet from 22:00 to 05:00 the next day. Evening conversation, television and washing machine use should all follow the on-site instructions on volume; having equipment in the room does not mean it can be used late at night the way it is used in the daytime. This place suits keeping daily life simple, not arranging late-night gatherings.
Pros and trade-offs: well-equipped for daily living, but three people still share a double bed
| Aspect | Points worth considering | Trade-offs to accept |
|---|---|---|
| Bed type | Single bed plus double bed, so two people can sleep separately | When three stay, two of them need to share a bed |
| Space | 25 sqm with a bedroom and a kitchen-dining activity area | Not a large suite; extra luggage needs a planned spot |
| Daily living | Kitchen, refrigerator, washing machine and dining table | Meals, operation and tidying are all self-arranged |
| Transport | About 540 metres from Kami-Itabashi Station, an 8-minute walk | Count the walk and transfers together every day |
| Driving | Free private parking is available | Must be reserved in advance; do not assume a space on arrival |
| Check-in routine | Ground floor, self check-in, luggage storage can be arranged | 10:00 check-out, quiet hours 22:00–05:00, no breakfast served |
If two or three of you are happy to organise daily life yourselves, I would look at Room 102
Huji Room 102 suits travellers who want a touch of everyday life in Tokyo, value a kitchen and laundry, and accept the walk to Kami-Itabashi Station. Two people can each take a bed, while three people should agree the shared-bed arrangement first. Contact the host early about the entry code, parking or luggage storage, then eat, do laundry and head out at your own pace, and this small 25 sqm place is much easier to live in.
