Today, we've come to the share house 'Guest House Cocoya Ebisu Uraha,' a renovated detached house located just a 6-minute walk from Ebisu! A detached house in Ebisu... amazing, isn't it? And it's been beautifully renovated so you can actually live here—how exciting♪ With rooms for two featuring bunk beds and even an attic room, this is the kind of home that brings out your inner child! But don't worry—it has been renovated, so you can absolutely enjoy a proper grown-up lifestyle here too (laughs).
On your days off, you can head to Yebisu Garden Place or go café hopping!
Now then, let's take a look right away!

Hitomi “This is Uraha, in a fantastic location just a 6-minute walk from Ebisu Station! The sign on the house has such a cute design—it looks like it was stamped with a rubber seal.”
Kumiko “Ebisu is so stylish!! The house sign and the accent light are so cute!”

Hitomi “Wow!! It has a touch-panel electronic key!! So high-tech. The advanced security makes it really reassuring♪”
Kumiko “With this latest key system, it really feels secure for women! And it's so convenient not having to carry a key around♪”

Hitomi “Welcome~♪ This is the entrance.”
Kumiko “Welcome~♪ Since it was originally a detached house, it somehow gives you such a comforting feeling, doesn't it?”

Hitomi “This is the dining kitchen. The calm dark-brown kitchen that was left as it was from before, the wooden furniture, the antique-style lighting, the clock, and more—all the colors are unified in a retro style, and it looks so stylish. The tableware used by residents is also fully provided☆”
Kumiko “The original house and the retro furniture go together so well—it feels stylish yet relaxing~♪ When the tableware is already provided, it's great because you don't have to prepare it yourself!”

Hitomi “I feel like I could chat here for hours~♪ The quote by the famous Italian actress Sophia Loren displayed in the frame is such a lovely touch☆”
Kumiko “Yeah, I feel like the dining room would become the main hangout spot. Everyone could share the latest Ebisu news together. That's the unique charm of a share house! Sophia, what does it say!? Somebody tell me (laughs)”

Hitomi “There's a TV too! I wonder if it's really okay to stay here this long~”
Kumiko “Hitomi-chan, of course it is—it’s home~! With the TV up at that height, it feels like a sports bar! Everyone could eat while cheering together!”

Hitomi “This is a PC that residents can use freely. They really thought of everything♪”
Kumiko “When you have a smartphone, sometimes you don't even own a PC, but a PC is still so useful!! It really helps to have one at home~!”

Hitomi “Isn't it unusual to have the stove on one side of the corner and the prep space and sink on the other?! It looks easy to cook here♪ And the brand-new refrigerator is a nice bonus too.”
Kumiko “It's an L-shaped kitchen! This would make cooking so easy~! And it's a brand-new refrigerator~! I wonder if I'd be able to make full use of all its functions (laughs).”

Hitomi “The IH cooking heater makes cleaning super easy♪ It looks stylish too!”
Kumiko “IH cooktops really are so slim~! This might make me better at cooking!?”

Hitomi “There's plenty of storage too!”
Kumiko “When you have storage up above, the kitchen area looks neat and tidy, so it's easier to stay organized◎”

Hitomi “This is the tableware that was bought and prepared for the residents. It's easy because you don't have to bring your own♪ Even the toaster oven has a designer look!”
Kumiko “Everything you need is provided~♪ Even the colors are coordinated, so stylish, right~!”

Hitomi “Natural light pours into the staircase too, which feels so nice~. The star-shaped light is stylish as well. They say that when it's lit at night, it casts delicate shadows and looks beautiful.”
Kumiko “So much light pours into the pure white staircase—it kind of feels like you're in a completely different space, doesn't it~! The star shape is cute, and the shadows are beautiful too! I can't wait to see it at night☆”

Hitomi “There are Sophia Loren's words here too. ‘If you haven't cried, your eyes can't be beautiful’ = ‘If you have never cried, your eyes can never become beautiful.’ It's a wonderful message expressing both the fragility and strength of women. I feel like seeing this every morning would really cheer me up!”
Kumiko “What a lovely quote! It means that the more you've cried, the more beautiful you can become~! That's so encouraging!”

Hitomi “The built-in TV and table are a nice touch, and so is the large window♪”
Kumiko “With the TV mounted on the wall, it doesn't take up any space◎ So much light comes in through the window! It's an L-shaped room, and the space behind Hitomi-chan could probably even be used as a closet♪”

Hitomi “Of course, there's a mirror built in too! There are so many features that women will love.”
Kumiko “A mirror is important!! With this, you'll look perfectly put together in the morning and before a date too~!”

Hitomi “This is a room for two. In addition to the bunk bed, table, and TV, there was also a valuables box with a lock installed.”
Kumiko “Bunk beds remind me of when I was a kid~♪ Whether with a friend or even by yourself. It's reassuring to be able to manage your valuables properly◎ Hitomi-chaaan! Shall we go get something to eat soon?”

Hitomi “And this is that valuables box. It has a lock, so it feels very secure.”
Kumiko “This padlock feels so nostalgic~! And it's cute in color too♪”

Hitomi “This room has an interior window high up by the stairs! During the day, natural light comes in through the window, and at night, the staircase lighting would probably be visible indirectly and look beautiful.”
Kumiko “It's like a little secret window (laughs). How interesting~! The indirect lighting at night would create such a grown-up mood.”

Hitomi “It's a Sherlock card key! The high-tech keys give you double locks at both the entrance and each room, so the security is perfect.”
Kumiko “Wow! A card key for your room is rare! With this latest key system, it feels very secure for women!”

Hitomi “This is the attic room on the third floor! It looks like arranging the layout would be fun♪”
Kumiko “Attics really make me excited. I wonder why! I'm so happy that it actually becomes your room. Where should I put the furniture~♪”

Hitomi “Attic rooms have such a unique shape—they feel like a secret base~♪ With this luxurious amount of storage, it looks like you could create a room that's truly your own!”
Kumiko “That's it! The reason it feels so exciting is because it's like a secret base~♪ When there's plenty of storage, you can use the room so much more spaciously.”

Hitomi “The wall-mounted TV can be moved~!!”
Kumiko “When you're sleeping, point it toward the bed; when you're eating, point it toward the room side—it's totally flexible~! So convenient!!”

Hitomi “There's secret storage too! It's this spacious!! You might even be able to use it while leaving it open.”
Kumiko “Exactly! It has depth too, and it's huge!! If you leave it open and put the bed farther in (toward the foot end), it feels like you could use the room even more spaciously!”

Hitomi “This is the bathroom! The tiles have also been replaced, so it looks almost brand new. It's nice to have both a bathtub and a shower.”
Kumiko “The style is a little old-fashioned, but the tiles and fixtures have all been beautifully replaced! It feels like it'd be relaxing, almost like going back to the countryside◎”

Hitomi “The washstand had also been replaced with a brand-new one! It's bright, and it feels like getting ready to go out would be fun♪”
Kumiko “When you live alone, sometimes you don't even have a washstand, right? Having a brand-new one is wonderful~! Come on, Hitomi-chan, let's get dressed up and go out right away♪”

Hitomi “In Ebisu, a place everyone dreams of and says, ‘I want to live there!,’ you can live here at such an affordable price! (Just 6 minutes on foot to the station, fully furnished with appliances and tableware, plus this rent! Unbelievable!) This cute detached house stands in a quiet residential neighborhood just off the main road. The share house created by renovating the inside is retro, stylish, and incredibly exciting♪ There was even a room where two people can move in together~♪ Personally, I recommend the hideaway-like attic room!”
Kumiko “Me too, the attic room~! The competition for that one looks like it'll be fierce >
So, what did you think of Guest House Cocoya Ebisu Uraha??
Since it's a renovated detached house, it somehow gives you that warm, cozy feeling of coming back to your family home. But at the same time, you get the fun of living in the heart of the city. It feels like you can enjoy all kinds of moods here♪
