About this stay
Escape to a serene oasis steps from Harajuku's lively streets. Traditional beams, modern concrete floors and lush ivy that blends indoors and out — inspired by Zen gardens, Kyoto's Katsura Imperial Villa and the work of Mirei Shigemori. The house is a living thing, one with the plant that embraces it; some of it even grows inside. Two storeys: the upstairs bedroom has a double and a semi-double bed, and downstairs there is a semi-double sofa bed. Six can technically sleep here, but two to four is far more comfortable. This is an early-Showa house — the stairs are steeper than Western standards and we don't advise it for anyone with mobility issues. With no interior walls, the open space fills with natural light. Sip tea surrounded by ivy, or unwind after exploring the neighbourhood's boutiques, cafés and landmarks. Ideal for couples, artists and travellers seeking authenticity with a modern twist.
What guests say
Airbnb guest reviews · rating as of September 2026 · some translated by us
If you want an alternative to generic hotels, this is your place. Ivy Harajuku is an incredibly unique and quirky space and we loved spending a few nights there. Well located, close to all the action but set back on a quiet street. The house was spotlessly clean and great coffee was provided too.
An amazing stay! The shower water pressure was so good, the beds were comfortable, and it is a really beautiful and interesting space. They also let us check in early from the airport and offered a late check-out. Would definitely stay again!
This place was amazing! Unique feel, lots of space, and in a great neighbourhood — something way more fun to book than a hotel. Walkable to the subway, stores, shopping and food. Highly recommend.

You pay the full amount by card (Visa or Mastercard) when you book, on a secure checkout. If you cancel within the free-cancellation period, we refund everything to your card.

Upstairs: one double bed and one semi-double bed. Downstairs: one semi-double sofa bed.
