The House

The rooftop terrace at Himejima Base

The House

Three floors, all of them yours

Living room, dining table, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor. The bedroom upstairs, with a balcony where the washing machine is. And the roof on top of that, which is a terrace.

Every bit of it is yours for the stay. Nothing is shared, and nobody else comes in. In the evening you can switch on the string lights upstairs and stay out there as long as you like.

The kitchen is a proper one — everything you need to actually cook, not just make coffee. The supermarket is three or four minutes away.

The double sofa bed in the living room sleeps two more, which is how four people fit into a one-bedroom house.

The bedroom

One bedroom, two single beds, done in a Japanese style. The second window here is polycarbonate and we fitted it ourselves, because the noise from the railway bothered us too. It doesn’t remove the sound, but it takes a good deal of the edge off in the room where you sleep.

The balcony off the bedroom has the washing machine on it.

A private rooftop terrace, which in this part of Osaka is not a common thing to have. Breakfast up here in the morning; lights on in the evening.

One or two other things

Given where the house sits, insects do sometimes get in during the summer months. We hope you’ll bear with us.

The house is near a railway line and an expressway, so you will hear trains and traffic at some times of day. We’d rather you knew now. More about that →
