Where should we go when we come to Tokyo?
First, why not stay in Koenji?
This is a warm town with a big heart that naturally accepts any kind of individuality.
There is probably no other town in all of Tokyo that is as magical.
And Grape House Koenji, which reflects the charm of this town, will always welcome you with a “welcome back”.
Because we’re a guesthouse for women only, you can pass the time in leisure.Since there are a lot of solo-traveling ladies here, it’s easy to strike up conversation with other guests.
Guests who come here from around the world often become friends.
And they experience many once-in-a-lifetime encounters with others.Ladies traveling in groups and mother-daughter travelers are also very welcome.
Grapehouse Koenji is located just off of the shopping district near the station. There are many kinds of stores in the shopping district, so you can enjoy a stroll around town while making your way to the guesthouse. Even at night, there are a lot of people in the shopping district so it’s very safe. Still, you can take a 1-minute walk to leave the shopping arcade and enter a quiet residential area where the guesthouse is located. You can leave your luggage with us before you check-in or after you check-out, so you can keep your plans flexible as you enjoy Koenji.

Since Grapehouse Koenji is in a residential area just past the lively downtown area near the station, you can safely walk around, even at night, and arrive at the guesthouse without getting lost. There are many convenience stores and good restaurants nearby, so please enjoy your stay in Koenji.
Take the north exit of Koenji Station, go straight down Junjo Shotengai between Sandrag and 7-Eleven, and turn left at the end of the street.
Turn right at the corner of the butcher shop you see immediately after the turn, and you will come to “Koushin-dori Shopping Street”, go straight there.
When you see Mizuho Bank on your left, you are on Waseda Dori.
Cross Waseda Dori in front of Family Mart, turn left, and turn right at the first corner.
Madina2024-12-03Hi girls ! I stayed in Grapehouse for two weeks in November 2024.I really felt at home there, though I was concerned that I was going to stay in a dormitory having to share the room with other ladies. The place is safe, clean, warm & cosy, with all the facilities and the location is very convenient. It is within a 10 minute walk from the train station. The dormitory is located in the Koenji district. It is a very quiet and welcoming place with a lot of residential streets. Once you are on the train from Koenji in 8 minutes you are at Shinjuku, a huge station, with a lot of underground shops and restaurants . The public bath experience is another story, it was the best one I have ever tried in my life. Everyone should try it. The convenience stores such as 7-Eleven and Family Mart always have a wide selection of snacks and ready-made food that is all very fresh and delicious. Thank you Sanae-san, who is always there to help. I highly recommend Grapehouse for solo travellers.
Marina2024-11-18I am so happy I stayed at Grapehouse Koenji my first trip to Tokyo (nine days)! Sanae has created an amazing place where you feel at home instantely. It's rather a guesthouse than a hostel, meaning that you feel like you are staying in a houseshare where anytime you want to chat, you can talk to someone, but there is also enough privacy and calm to take time for yourself. Everything is furnished cozely and Sanae and her team make sure that the place is always clean. You can also order a tasty Japanese breakfast. The only minor criticism I have would be that the air in the dormitory sometimes gets really stuffy at night, so you might have to talk to the other women there and figure out if the last one to go to bed can leave the door or a window open. Other than that, it's perfect :) Finally, Koenji is an amazing area! Clean, cozy, authentic, many (vintage) shops and restaurants. I highly recommend Rect Sand Café if you're vegan :) Wander around and fall in love with Koenji :)
Jana2024-11-05The best place I stayed during my Japan-trip. So kind hearted people, I always feeled at home and hope to be back soon! I can highly recommend with all my heart!
지연2024-10-31머무는 동안 너무 편안하고 좋았어요! 숙소 근처도 조용합니다. 호스트분이 정말 친절하셨고 강아지가 아주 귀여워요 ♡♡
Ulrike2024-10-29Sehr sehr nette Gastgeberin. Schöner gemeinschaftsbereich, gemütliche Betten, sehr kommunikative Atmosphäre Werde die Unterkunft jederzeit weiterempfehlen!
민서2024-10-18숙소에서 편하게 잘 쉬다가 갑니다. 주인께서 너무 친절하셨고 많이 배려해주셨습니다. 강아지도 너무 귀엽습니다☺️
Cecily2024-10-15I had the perfect stay for my first visit to Japan! Koenji is a less touristy area that’s full of vibrant local life! Well connected to the city centre. Lots of vintage shops and izakayas and abundant convenience stores. Evening you need and so much to explore! There are also a few sentos in the neighborhood and I enjoyed the local public bathing experience twice during my visit. The hostel is a perfect place to rest at the end of a busy day, and I met so many friendly people there during my stay. Would absolutely stay here again!

Maria2024-10-01I loved it. For sure will come back if im ever again in Tokyo. Everything is super clean and they make your stay very easy. ありがとうございました🙏🏼
Tina Marie2024-09-23A wonderful place to stay, esp for women who love solo travel l. Upon arrival, I was welcomed by an adorable little white poodle, and all my fatigue disappeared. ^^ The host helped me carry my luggage to the 2nd floor and she provided all the essential information I needed to know to about the place ~ the dorm room, kitchen, laundry, shower, and common areas. She addressed my concerns swiftly~ very accommodating! ^^ The location is just perfect ~ lots of local restaurants, boutiques, vintage shops, cafes, and shopping streets. I was able to do outside Tokyo trips with few transfers and no hassle such as Yokohama, Kawagoe, and Mt. Takao. I highly recommend this place and will stay here again.^^
