Colive at HafH in Tokyo!

Summer Campaign on now!

In addition to HafH’s Coliving Project at our four directly operated coliving facilities in Kyushu, we are also running a Tokyo version! Come and remotely from Tokyo this summer!

There are two coliving facilities to choose from in Tokyo; the “live-in hostel” called Planetyze Hostel located in the Nihonbashi area, and LIRY Minami-Shinagawa, a share house style set-up in the Shinagawa area.

As a special offer for this project, those who apply before June 30, 2020 and live in one of these two facilities on a HafH Coliving (1mth) plan for three months from July to September will receive a 30,000yen Amazon gift card.

Furthermore, if you apply for this campaign and you’re joining HafH for the first time, you won’t be charged for the month of July!
Check out the information below for more details.

Property 1：Planetyze Hostel
(Higashi-Nihonbashi, TOKYO)

Planetyze Hostel is a 10 story “live-in” hostel in vibrant Higashi-Nihonbashi. Planetyze’s great location places it within a 5 minute walking distance of 4 different train stations, including Asakusabashi Station and Higashi–Nihonbashi Station. Good access to Haneda and Narita airports, with both being within an hour’s distance from the property by train.

The ground (first) floor is a coworking space set up with high-speed Wi-Fi and plenty of power outlets.

The coworking space is also a café space and a runner’s station used by residents and guests of Planetyze, and Tokyo locals. Chill out here with a great cup of coffee or one of the café’s delicious protein drinks.

Spacious shared kitchen

Once a restaurant facility, the shared kitchen and dining space has all the bells and whistles you’d find in any pro kitchen!

Buy some local ingredients and cook yourself a feast, or grab some food and have pot luck with other guests and residents.

Rooms

Enjoy time to yourself in our double rooms. The large beds are nice and comfy!

A simple table is set up in each room as well, so you have a private place to work or study from.

Staff（Rich & Haruka）

Rich is Taiwanese and started living in Japan 5 years ago. Rich’s Japanese language ability is perfect, but also speaks Mandarin and English. We’re planning to have a Taiwanese food night together with those who move in!

Haruka is Japanese, and was living at HafH Goto THE PIER, our new coliving facility in the gorgeous Goto Archipelago (Nagasaki Prefecture), before moving to Planetyze in Tokyo. Haruka also worked in the café at HafH Nagasaki SAI, the first of our facilities, and he loves coffee. Make sure to try his delicious coffee!

Around the Neighborhood

Stylish coffee stands, and famous attractions like Asakusa Kaminarimon　Gate and Tokyo SkyTree are among the many things you can see around this part of Tokyo.

On weekends you can read by the Sumida River, get some take out coffee from a nearby coffee stand and go for a scenic stroll, or go drinking at the local izakayas. The area around Planetyze Hostel is perfect for making the most of Tokyo life!

Property２: LIRY Minami-Shinagawa
(Shinagawa area, TOKYO)

LIRY Minami-Shinagawa differs from Planetyze in that it’s more of a share house style, suited to long-term stays or coliving. LIRY offers a more relaxed-pace environment in the Shinagawa area. LIRY has everything you need, from furniture to appliances, so all you need to do is move in and enjoy!

Both the 1F and 2F have shared kitchen spaces, so you can cook at home whenever you like. There is also a shared living area with TV and small dining space, plus a coworking office space as well.

Only a 3 minute walk to the closest station, and only two stations away from Shinagawa Station!

There’s only a 3 minute walk from Shimbamba Station to LIRY. Once on the train, it’s only 2 stations to Shinagawa Station, making access to all over Tokyo really easy.
Use LIRY Minami-Shinagawa as your base to explore and enjoy life in Tokyo!

Furniture & Appliances

LIRY has all you need furniture and appliance-wise, so you don’t need to buy anything to start your new life here!

Bedrooms

All bedrooms come with a single bed and storage unit. Bedroom doors are secured with an electronic lock and card key system, so you can be sure your belongings are safe and secure.
Each room also has its own air-conditioning unit, so you can keep yourself as warm or as cool as you like.

Around the Neighborhood

The area is really quiet for being in the middle of Tokyo, with mostly houses in the close vicinity. There are plenty of places to go for a stroll particularly along the Meguro River (a must during cherry blossom season!)

There are many convenience stores and small grocery stores within a short walking distance of LIRY, so getting groceries and snacks is not a hassle.

Walk for about 15 minutes to Shinagawa Seaside Station and it’s only a two station ride to Odaiba! There’s also a very large supermarket at Shinagawa Seaside and a shop that sells foreign food items and wine!

Kita-Shinagawa Shopping Arcade and Aomonoyokocho are within a 10 minute walk, so that means plenty of restaurants and shops near by. There are some coffee shops around and even a Japanese tea cafe, so it’s a nice place for a laid-back weekend.

The pistacchio ice cream from Patisserie SLier and ramen from Ajimaru come highly recommended by one of our Tokyo staff.

If you come for a house inspection, will give you recommendations and information about the local area.
