Discover Japan’s Cultural Heartbeat Through the Art of Calligraphy and Matcha Tea Ceremony

In the heart of Tokyo, just minutes from the vibrant energy of Shibuya, lies a little home waiting to immerse you in the soul of Japan. Step into a serene, traditional Japanese house — a home where the gentle scent of tatami and the warmth of the irori welcome you. This authentic experience in Ikenoue invites you to step beyond the ordinary and into a world where art meets tradition.

Life in Ikenoue — Our Charming Shopping Street

We are proud to be a member of the Ikenoue Shōeikai (Ikenoue Shopping Street Association), which supports community-based businesses and creates a calm, distinctive neighborhood filled with unique, independent shops.

This summer, local children joined an exciting “Kids’ Treasure Hunting @ Ikenoue” event — discovering the hidden charms of our town and meeting the people behind the shops.

Their adventure has been captured in a short video, now available on YouTube!

Take a look and enjoy the warm, local spirit of our neighborhood.
