Edo stay senju
Unstaffed guesthouse with private rooms and shared showers, five minutes on foot from Keisei Senju-Ohashi
About this stay
Edo Stay Senju opened in early 2026 in the Takebayashi Building at Senju Kawaramachi 27-3, five minutes on foot from Keisei Senju-Ohashi Station, where Rapid and local trains stop, and about ten from Kita-Senju. From Narita, the Keisei Main Line reaches Senju-Ohashi without a change in about 80 minutes; from Haneda, the hotel points to a direct airport limousine bus of about 50 to 60 minutes. Nobody works on site: arrival goes through a multilingual self check-in system and codes sent by email, and questions through an in-room QR chat in Japanese, English, Chinese or Korean. Each room has a TV, a mini fridge, a hair dryer and towels, but no soap or face wash. The shared showers run around the clock except during cleaning. The fourth-floor rooftop holds the only smoking area, the second-floor lounge opens from 6:00 to 21:00, and the building has no lift and lists no kitchen. For work, Wi-Fi is free throughout, but no desk is listed in the rooms, and the second-floor lounge is meant for talking and resting.

Our take
Edo Stay Senju opened in early 2026 in the Takebayashi Building at Senju Kawaramachi 27-3, five minutes on foot from Keisei Senju-Ohashi Station and about ten from Kita-Senju, where the JR Joban Line, the Chiyoda and Hibiya subway lines and the Tsukuba Express meet. Nobody works on site: entry codes arrive by email, the room code stops working at 10:00 on departure morning, and there is no late check-out. Rooms lock, sleep three at most and have a mini fridge; showers and toilets are shared and split by gender on the second and third floors. A single guest review stands behind its 8.0. I would take it for a Narita arrival with light bags, not with big suitcases: the building has no lift.
- The Keisei Main Line runs from Narita Airport to Senju-Ohashi without a change in about 80 minutes, but only Rapid and local trains stop there: the Skyliner and the limited expresses pass through, so from the Skyliner change at Nippori.
- The hotel keeps no luggage and the building is stairs only. Senju-Ohashi Station has coin lockers, including suitcase sizes, which cover the gap before the 15:00 check-in or after the 10:00 check-out.
- Guests can use the washers and dryers from 7:00 to 21:00 at no charge, but no detergent is supplied: bring your own or buy it from the vending machine on site.
- The fourth-floor rooftop terrace opens from 6:00 to 20:00, until 21:00 in fireworks season, and allows food but not alcohol; the second-floor lounge allows neither meals nor parties.
- Walk south to Senju-ohashi Bridge, where Matsuo Basho set off in 1689 on the journey he wrote up as Oku no Hosomichi; the few Edo-period houses of the old Senju-juku post town on the Nikko Kaido stand the other way, north towards Kita-Senju.

Why guests love itEdo Stay Senju can take a small family, within limits that its house rules spell out. Rooms sleep three at most; a child aged six or under may share a bed or futon, one child per bed, with no extra bedding supplied, and anyone aged seven or over is booked as a guest. Showers and toilets are shared and split by gender, so a parent travelling with a child of the other sex has to plan bath time. Nobody works on site, questions go through an in-room QR chat, the house keeps no luggage, and the building is stairs only, which turns a pushchair into a real burden. I would choose it for one parent with a young child, or two adults with a school-age child and light bags. I would not book it with a baby, or with teenagers who expect their own bathroom. I could not confirm whether any room has tatami floors.
