Beginning House - Authentic Japanese Renovated Stay, Airport Direct + Disney bus
A Traditional Japanese Home, Reimagined with Modern Comfort and Smart Technology. Welcome to the Story of BEGINNINGー A Traditional Japanese Home, Entirely Yours. Stay in a Private Traditional Japanese Home — Just for Your Group
The greatest charm of BEGINNING GUEST HOUSE is the opportunity to stay in an authentic traditional Japanese home from the Showa era, reserved entirely for you and your group.
No shared spaces. No other guests. Just your own private Japanese home.
Built in 1963, this house preserves architectural details that are increasingly difficult to find in modern hotels. From the traditional funazoko-tenjo (boat-bottom ceiling) and natural Japanese cypress (hinoki) ceiling, fusuma sliding doors, traditional staircase, and distinctive tiled roof, every part of the house offers a glimpse into everyday Japanese life and architecture.
The roof design, reminiscent of traditional Japanese castles and temples, and the gentle fragrance of natural hinoki are particularly special features of the house.
Rather than simply visiting Japan and looking at traditional architecture, BEGINNING gives guests the chance to sleep, eat, relax, and spend time inside it. It is a Japanese cultural experience you can actually live in.

A Place Where You May Want to Stay In — Not Just Come Home To
After a full day exploring Tokyo, you don’t have to return to a small hotel room. Because the entire house is yours, you can slow down and enjoy time together with your family or friends.
Prepare a meal in the kitchen. Relax on the tatami. Enjoy a quiet evening in a peaceful residential neighborhood.
You may even find yourself thinking: “We came to Tokyo to explore Japan… but today, we just want to stay home and enjoy this house.”
That is the kind of “live like a local in Tokyo” experience BEGINNING is designed to offer. 4 groups of 6 or more, guests can also enjoy a more traditional Japanese sleeping experience with futons laid out on tatami flooring.
