Just to clear up a couple of things that I didn't mention in the video (mostly because I didn't want to bore you guys): 1. We're calling it a hotel instead of an Airbnb because it's actually licensed as one -- the license to start a hotel in Japan is much harder to get than a standard Airbnb or "minpaku" license, and requires you to install more heavy-duty smoke detectors and fire safety-related things, including fire-resistant doors and walls, and also has more requirements regarding check-in and security than the Airbnb license. Why would we go through the trouble of getting this? Japan only allows minpaku-licensed properties to operate 180 days out of the year, while a hotel can operate all year. Does it look like most hotels? No, but it's still a hotel nonetheless! 2. Yes, the price may seem high, but this area of Tokyo is extremely expensive -- hotel rooms of a similar size to this house (600ft2/55m2) nearby (Ebisu and Roppongi, since Hiroo doesn't have any licensed hotel other than the US military-only New Sanno Hotel) tend to charge double of what we're charging, with the caveat that you can only stay as two, maybe three guests. In Besso Hiroo, your whole family may be able to stay over without having to get multiple rooms, since we have the pullout sofa. Sure, you can find more inexpensive options nearby, but they will be either business hotels or capsule hotels where you'll be sacrificing size and comfort.
Thank you for the explanation alex! So you can operate year round. Gotcha! I figured this place would lean more into the luxury/boutique side of things with all the money you guys put into it. Compared to staying at the 4 seasons or any luxury hotel in Tokyo I suppose your place would be amenable to those folks and be a more intimate place to stay over several days.
Thanks for clearing that up. Id be very interested in learning more about this in Japan. In my opinion there's still a lot of confusion with the very term "airbnb", as it encompasses anything between registered apartments, actual guest-houses/ hostels/ hotels , and a side-hustle. The legal distinction is so important 😅. As well as to meet guest expectations. It also seems like number of days you can open for varies by country and by type of licence.
For the washing machine (and maybe the other appliances) I'd maybe add an english manual or some labels on the buttons. I would have no idea what to press. :D
@@erinnstreeter That's what my mother ended up doing while she visited me, but it certainly isn't foolproof, given lens was telling my mother one of the options was to "stretch" the clothes. I will leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out what the actual translation is as a fun exercise.
I recommend putting something in the kitchen that will fit in the grooves on the sink. That way you can prep your ingredients (cutting, cleaning, etc.) while you use the stove.
A couple of things I noticed. The fridge and the washing machine should open the opposite direction. I also missed hanging space in the Bedroom, bath and the entrance. And lastly no counter space in the kitchen, maybe just put a board in the same stone on top of the sink.
For the fridge, you want it to open into the kitchen not away from it. Your suggestion would actually make the flow of the space irregular and that's a major no-no for Feng Shui. The washer/drier looks like it can only open the one way but at least it won't bang on the walls when open.
I love the renovation. Bookmarked the hotel as I might be in Tokyo next year with the family and for the area, standalone nice if small house that can sleep 4 is not bad at all.
It's a typical boutique hotel. Price, function, all. => a group of friends / family of >4 wants >4 real beds not 1 queen size bed + 1 fold out bed + 1 sleeping couch => someone who wants a kitchen want space for prep work => a group of friends / family of >4 wants a couch / seating for >4 => a single / pair get's a really nice 4 star hotel room for this price
"45 days!" to complete all of that work. If only I could teleport Japanese builders to the US. - In the 12 years I have been investing in hard assets within the US real estate market, I have never heard of, met, or worked with a US builder that had this level of efficiency, and craftsmanship to get a renovation done like that. I am honestly jealous. Congrats Tokyo Portfolio team!
Looks pretty good. I think i have 2 real gripes about it: 1). Where do you prepare your food? There is literally only a sliver of counter space. Its not even big enough for a cutting board. That sink is massive comparatively and would have probably been better off being slightly smaller to accommodate the smaller space and give actual counter space. 2). The roof. I think it would be better if the roof fence was about your elbow height. It looks nice but feels like you're closed in a box and when you sit all you see is wood. Most people would like to feel a breeze and **SEE** something. Removing the top two or three boards all the way around, would open it up more while still keeping it private
I too think they did that rooftop dirty. With such a small space it should've been opened up, not boxed in. this way if you wanted to bathe in the sun a little, you could do it for more than 30 minutes. Should've used glass, stained if necessary for privacy, or anything less invasive really. And custom furniture for such a tight space. That Target discount bin stuff is fine for most uses, but it doesn't really fit with the 'boutique' hotel vibe and pricing/expectation.
First I have to say I really love the design and the restauration here. Your team did an amazing work. That said, I think it would have been better to create a share house or multiple cheaper rooms ; here it just seems like an air bnb without calling it an air bnb
Too small for a sharehouse. Its only a 1 bedroom place. Its basically a home rental/air bnb like you said. Meant for a small family or a couple. Def not for a solo traveler
It's cool, but it's disappointing that some of the functionality wasn't kept. For example the self filling and temperature regulating bathtub. And the smaller bathroom mirror and sink. It is a hotel I suppose.
I completely hear what you're saying; however, certain features, including bath reheating functionality, are not permitted in Ryokan or hotel settings to maintain hygiene standards set by Japanese law.
getting in the housing market is hard but it is harder doing it in another country and you nail it. you have my highest respect and i wish you good luck for your future
I enjoyed this episode. Interesting renovation. Now it looks like a brand new house. Congratulations on expanding your endeavors and many blessings to your journey and future. You are an inspiring guy.
It looks pretty big actually. I can't believe that my apartment is 11 square meters larger. I love the japanese minimalism with the plants and the grey walls. Would stay there if i ever went to tokyo
I wish you a lot of success. People are complaining about the price. This place is huge! Multiple people could put in on the rate. Also to mention… It’s in Tokyo, people! This isn’t Budget Suits!
I imagine he will add a manual for things but the label maker, whilst sounds like a great idea for your own home, would make the space feel less exuberant & more obsessive Airbnb host.
Yea after seeing the high end everything, I expected the price tag. $750 for two nights is a bit much, but I guess it is a luxury place versus an affordable one. I’ll stick with my business hotels lol.
Best area to live in when working in central Tokyo, but not sure it s where you wanna stay for your holidays. Then, not sure why you would pay more to stay there for holidays (while it is true there is a premium for renting long term there)
If I owned that house I wouldn't renovate it. The second floor bathroom toilet is a good idea, because if I were sleepy and had to pee, I'd probably fall down the stairs trying to make it to the first floor bathroom.
It's officially a hotel and built to meet the standards but it seems that you've just found a way around AirBnb limitations. It's listed on AirBnb so it is an AirBnb. A really nice one. If Japan ever does something to stop traditional AirBnb would you still be able to list it on AirBnb since it's actually a hotel? I can see a family with two young kids who dont mind sharing a bed staying there. Mimaru hotels is very family friendly so they'd be your competition... though they arent on AirBnb. That aside good luck with it. Hopefully you wont have neighbors complaining since it seems to be in a residential area.
Hey, airbnb is the name of a platform. So it booking, etc. A licensed place can be listed anywhere. An "airbnb" used to an extra home in your house that you'd rent to a stranger for money a few nights per year (instead of offering it for free on couchsurfing). It became people's main hustle to "play hotel" and eventually the state (every country) had to enforce rules on the vertical airbnb created and broke into, and get people to pay taxes on income ! - Anyone can list a business on airbnb: hotels, hostels, guest-houses, holiday rentals, and people.
@@princess-violet Traditional hotels can't be listed on Airbnb yet. Boutique hotels can. Yes he created a "hotel" and followed the building codes for one. He's bright and figured out that making it a "hotel" meant that it could be booked everyday of the year. He stated that regular Airbnb can't do that in Japan (but I'm not going to watch it again to verify).
In Quebec, we have something called "Tant qu'à" which translates to "Might as well" and it describes this situation where you start a small renovation project and, while "that" is being worked on or "this" wall is opened, might as well do this and that. Once you've stick your finger in it, the arm usually follows and soon enough, your simple kitchen makeover sees you in the middle of a stud forrest ;) A very international concept!
Congrats on he project! I got so confused by the name hotel during the entire video, and kept wondering where the other bedrooms would be, and why people shared a bathroom or why it was not en-suite. Etc. Guest-House would be a better term ;)
I always find it fascinating that we don't measure distance in meters/km/etc but in time. We're 10 minutes away from this, 12 minutes away from that. Good luck on the hotel though may it go well! Zoning in Japan is so odd, would love to hear about the 'legality' of turning something like this into a Hotel, or is it more like an AirBNB type deal?
Because it depends how the way is. Route A and B are both 300 m long. Route A is just straight and not very steep. Route B is steep and you have to walk a lot of corners. Route A will be faster, although it's the same distance😁 It's the same for the navigation system in cars. You can either go for the shortest route or the fastest, cause short doesn't always equal fast 🙃
You guys took on a tough challenge I like that the couch charcoal color is beautiful but I would have loved it to be more square around the edges it's Japan you know
LOVE the renovations! You guys did an amazing job and that area really is great! Seems a bit cramped for 4 large americans to wanna go there. Im gonna go out on a limb and say it would be a good place for a couple or a very small asian family that is more comfortable in close quarters. Its def a great guest house. Wouldn't call it a hotel at all. Theres no staff either
I like most of it apart from the roof terrace. It will feel like you are sitting in a wooden crate! I don't understand why you have blocked out all the views and any cool breezes on a hot summer day.
I see a lot of people say that this place is too expensive, and while by itself, I'd say it would be, where it's located, I think the price is fairly reasonable. Obviously calling it a hotel is far fetched and pretty misleading (though I am glad in the description, it's listed as an air bnb and not a hotel), but overall, I feel like if you do have the money, especially if you're not the most fluent in Japanese but would like to stay in Tokyo, it'd be a decent enough option.
CONGRATS!!!! Glad you made your dream come true! Wish you lots of luck & succes. Warm greetz from an old (rebel), Pinkie BTW: love your socks sweetie!!!! ;-)
Staying here right now, and it’s even better in person! The attention to detail is unreal-everything from the decor to the views. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a slice of Tokyo luxury! 🌃👌
This is SO smart. What a great way to allow people the chance to have the real Japan experience - and then, if they're ready after their stay, they just jot down to your office and start the process of finding their own place.
Very nice, Alex! The dates I'm planning on being in Tokyo are unavailable though. I'll continue checking because our plans to visit have already been scrapped twice.😢 I'm hoping that the third time's a charm. 🤞🏼

For the washing machine (and maybe the other appliances) I'd maybe add an english manual or some labels on the buttons. I would have no idea what to press. :D
I bet you could use Google Lens, in a pinch.

The dry bonsai really ties the room together man.
So much better than a rug
I recommend putting something in the kitchen that will fit in the grooves on the sink. That way you can prep your ingredients (cutting, cleaning, etc.) while you use the stove.
I think that most foreigners who rent this place won't be doing much cooking.
A couple of things I noticed. The fridge and the washing machine should open the opposite direction. I also missed hanging space in the Bedroom, bath and the entrance. And lastly no counter space in the kitchen, maybe just put a board in the same stone on top of the sink.
Oh and maybe some lights on the roof 😅
For the fridge, you want it to open into the kitchen not away from it. Your suggestion would actually make the flow of the space irregular and that's a major no-no for Feng Shui. The washer/drier looks like it can only open the one way but at least it won't bang on the walls when open.
Sad to see that the roof remodeling got rid of the clothes drying racks, not everything can handle being machine-dried

Take a drink every time he says “high end” 💀

Congratulations Alex and Team!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ Love your hotel so much.
It looks pretty big actually. I can't believe that my apartment is 11 square meters larger. I love the japanese minimalism with the plants and the grey walls. Would stay there if i ever went to tokyo
I wonder if opening a hotel is like opening a restaurant. and if in a year there will be a realization why there are no other hotels in that area.
it is extremely high-end. Just like Tokyo. It makes perfect sense what you’ve created and the price makes perfect sense as well.❤
I wish you a lot of success. People are complaining about the price. This place is huge! Multiple people could put in on the rate. Also to mention… It’s in Tokyo, people! This isn’t Budget Suits!
MY WARLORD! YOU'RE BACK!
I got a little bit too excited about that coffee table that extends up to a tray table, I want one! 😊
You could find those sold just about anywhere in the early 2000s. these days with all online retail, should be even easier if you want it.
Small hotel. I am recommending this video to my cashed up friends. Looks incredible
You’ve been missed mate much love from across the pond.❤❤

This looks more like a VERY NICE Airbnb than a hotel. The bonsai is very elegant! How much is it per night?
Alex has the energy of an 80s yuppie living in Soho.
Wow, good on you mate. Great idea.
Omg I love blue bottle coffee. I haven’t been to that one yet.
I absolutely LOVE IT !!! 🤩 ...when goes the next plane to TYO ??? 😄
Wth!? Not a single comment about the socks at 14:58!? The story behind those is the only thing I'm interested in
You love them
Lovely neighborhood and great work with the renovation.

I have a coffee table just like that one. I got it from BO Concept.
wonderful job
You did a great job! It looks great. The location is really interesting.
I always find it fascinating that we don't measure distance in meters/km/etc but in time. We're 10 minutes away from this, 12 minutes away from that.

Yep!
Is the electric stove gonna be from Panasonic too?
It looks great but why is it called a hotel rather than a short term rental since only one family can stay there?
honestly what im mostly wondering is why are the windows are a lot on ground level. never saw that anywhere else in the world

LOVE the renovations! You guys did an amazing job and that area really is great! Seems a bit cramped for 4 large americans to wanna go there. Im gonna go out on a limb and say it would be a good place for a couple or a very small asian family that is more comfortable in close quarters.
Its def a great guest house. Wouldn't call it a hotel at all. Theres no staff either
I like most of it apart from the roof terrace. It will feel like you are sitting in a wooden crate! I don't understand why you have blocked out all the views and any cool breezes on a hot summer day.
