Pencil House | Shinjuku | Close to Central Park | House in Shinjuku
3 Bedroom House in Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku
✨ Highlights
Pencil House is a rare, architect-designed private home just minutes from Shinjuku Central Park and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government buildings 🏙️
Set across three levels, this unique “pencil house” offers an authentic Tokyo living experience in a compact but cleverly designed space — ideal for families or groups who want to stay together in one home.
Houses like this are extremely uncommon so close to central Shinjuku. While the footprint is narrow (true to the pencil-house style), the layout makes smart use of vertical space and has been carefully maintained over many years of hosting. It’s a well-loved home that continues to offer comfort, character, and excellent value.
🏠 The Space
Pencil House is arranged over three internal floors, connected by stairs. The design reflects modern Tokyo architecture — tall, slim, and efficient — offering a genuine local experience rather than a standard apartment stay.
This home is best suited for up to 7 guests, allowing space for luggage and a more comfortable stay.
Please note: there are internal stairs and one bathroom, which is typical for homes of this style.
