The share house we visited today is ‘Herbs de Sakurashinmachi,’ an 8-minute walk from Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line’s “Sakurashinmachi Station.” Sakurashinmachi is in a fantastic location, just four stops from Shibuya.

Since the word “herb” was in the house name, I headed there with my heart fluttering, thinking what a lovely name it was, one that would surely appeal to a woman’s heart♪ When we arrived, a simple yet stylish house based on white appeared before us. When we opened the door, there was a faint scent of wood, giving the place a calm and relaxing feeling.
As it is a newly built property, it is extremely clean～.
Please take a look♪

First, enjoy the girls’ review in video form♪

Mai “Now then, we’re about to visit Herbs de Sakurashinmachi!!”
Hitomi “The entrance is set a little higher up, isn’t it? The weather is nice, so the pure white house stands out dazzlingly!”

Mai “It’s a drawing of herbs! So cute! It’s stylish right from the entrance.”
Hitomi “It really isー! So cute!! It looks like Scandinavian textile design, doesn’t it?♪”

Mai “Welcome home!! Hitomi-san. Just kidding (laughs).”
Hitomi “Mai-chan, I’m homeー♪ The entrance is spacious. The ceiling is high too. With this much room, even if a group of five or six people arrived all at once, they wouldn’t bump into each other!”

Mai “This is the shoe cabinet. This can... hold a lot, can’t it!”
Hitomi “It sure can. I wonder how many pairs it fits... I’m a humanities person, so I can’t calculate it (laughs).”

Mai “The living room♪ Wooden floors, wooden walls... somehow it feels very calming.”
Hitomi “Exactly! The whole place has a wood-toned style, so it feels warm and puts you at ease～. The spot downlights are stylish, like a music studio.”

Mai “Hitomi-san, you’re really good at guitar! Next time, let’s invite lots of friends to this living room and hold a recital!”
Hitomi “Really? You’re going to make me get carried away, you know? Just kidding, I’m only pretending to play (laughs). But being able to sing and chat together with everyone in such a big living room would be such a happy thing. It feels so open that I’d probably end up staying here for ages♪”

Mai “Wow! The TV is huge! Actually, it’s 3D! It’s popping out!”
Hitomi “I’ve never seen a 3D TV before, so I’m really impressed! It’s just like a movie theater!! I’d love to enjoy a home theater setup here with sci-fi or action movies♪”

Mai “There are so many chairs. It looks like it would be fun for everyone to gather and eat together＾＾”
Hitomi “Yes, yes♪ It’s so nice to have such a big table with seating for so many people. It makes me imagine the room of Disney’s Seven Dwarfsーｗ Meals are more enjoyable when shared with everyone than eaten alone, aren’t they? Also, I think the lighting hanging a little low looks so stylish.”

Mai “Ta-da! This is what the whole living room looks like! It’s huge!”
Hitomi “In this long living room, sofas line the wall from one end to the other. It looks like at least twenty people could sit here lightly! The ceiling is high too, so it feels wonderfully open!”

Mai “This is the kitchen. There are even two sinks, one at each end!!”
Hitomi “That’s rightー! The kitchen is bound to get busy in the morning, after all. Having two is really convenient♪”

Mai “The kitchen is really spacious and comfortable. It makes you want to cook, doesn’t it? Since the kitchen is so large, it also looks like it would be fun for several people to cook together.”
Hitomi “There’s so much room that even if two people were working back-to-back, there’d still be plenty of space! We could coordinate like, ‘I’ll chop, so Mai-chan, you stir-fry～’ while cooking together (laughs).”

Mai “It looks like you can store all kinds of things inside too.”
Hitomi “Rightー! Since the kitchen is so spacious, there’s plenty of storage space too!”

Mai “Okay then, I’ll go ahead and make something right away! Just kidding (laughs).”
Hitomi “Aah! Mai-chan, don’t you look just like a newlywed wife?! So lovelyー!! Make something for usー! (laughs)”

Hitomi “And this is the famous herb garden! The back of the second-floor living room is a wooden deck♪ They say you can pick as much mint, lavender, rosemary... and more as you like♪”
Mai “Wow, amazing! There are so many herbs!”

Mai “And on top of thatー! You can even practice putting here!!”
Hitomi “Mai-chan! You can play golfー!? That’s amazing!!”

Mai “Apparently, once you harvest these herbs, you can eat them or drink them.”
Hitomi “That’s right! I’d love to pick fresh herbs every morning and evening, make my own original herbal tea, and live a stress-free lifeー! And apparently they also regularly hold cooking classes, herb soap classes, bath bomb classes, and room spray classes using these fresh herbs. They say an instructor comes and teaches you in person. My feminine charm might improve too much and become a problem♪ (laughs)”

Mai “Mmm, it smells so nice. The scent of herbs is so calming.”
Hitomi “Mai-chan’s blissful expression♪ So cuteー♪ The scent of freshly picked herbs really is wonderful!”

Mai “Wouldn’t it be stylish to drink herbal tea while surrounded by herbs?”
Hitomi “Yes♪ So luxurious!! And then you could brag about it at work or at school! (laughs)”

Mai “Now then, in the basement, there was even a room called a relaxation room!”
Hitomi “Here we go again, another luxurious space to introduceー! It’s nice, like a hidden living room♪”

Mai “This room also has various things related to plants, doesn’t it?”
Hitomi “It doesー♪ Aromas, books on how to make herbal tea, books about different kinds of herbs, and more. When it comes to herbs, this place has it all!”

Mai “No way! There’s a massage chair here!?”
Hitomi “At this point, moving in is basically decided, isn’t it?! (laughs) Just thinking about going for a massage after work makes you realize how wonderful it is to be able to get a massage any time you want without worrying about business hours, right?! Oh, and by the way, apparently there’s even a foot bath machine too!”

Mai “Warm sunlight streams in, the view outside is beautiful, and it’s such a lovely room.”
Hitomi “There was so much greenery outside too! A bright room really lifts your spirits, doesn’t itー!”

Mai “You can hang clothes here.”
Hitomi “Your favorite clothes are the kind you want to display in the most visible place, right! On the other hand, it also sounds fun to come up with ways to keep them out of sight♪”

Mai “Oh! The room key locks securely, doesn’t it!”
Hitomi “There it isー!! The Sherlock key!! With this, security is perfect!!”

Mai “Another adorable design—herbs everywhere (*^^*)”
Hitomi “Girls are so weak when it comes to these little thoughtful touches (laughs).”

Mai “A pure white room! It’s overflowing with cleanliness.”
Hitomi “It really is! White walls really are the best, after all～. And the ceiling is so high, isn’t itー!”

Mai “There’s a balcony too. I’d love to sit here, feel the breeze, and quietly gaze into the distance...”
Hitomi “Mai-chan, quietly gaze into the distance? (laughs) But I kind of get it. It’s nice to have a balcony in your room. Since it gets sunlight, laundry would probably dry quickly too.”

Mai “There’s shared space on the upper floor too.”
Hitomi “Yes. This one feels like a bright dining space. There’s also a wide terrace outsideー!”

Mai “Can you really have a barbecue here!? It really has everything!”
Hitomi “You can step out onto this terrace from that dining area we just saw! I want to have a BBQ, set off fireworks, and enjoy the very last of summer this year! Ahh, I want a beerー! (laughs)”

Mai “The washstand is spacious too, so two people can use it at the same time.”
Hitomi “That’s right. You can expect it to get crowded here in the morning too (laughs), so having a wide one is convenient!”

Mai “The bath! It’s pure white and beautiful.”
Hitomi “Since it’s newly built, it’s really clean!! The bathtub is wide too, so it looks like you could soak in it comfortably♪”

Mai “As expected! Hitomi-san, you look so sexy!”
Hitomi “Really? Maybe I should take on the role of the sexy one from now on? Just kidding (laughs). I’d recommend it even for people who prefer showers! (The shower room also has a dressing area.)”

Mai “So many washing machines! Are there dryers too!?”
Hitomi “Laundry is one of the biggest concerns in share living! But with this many, there’s plenty of room to spareー!”

Mai “Just like the name suggests, there are lots of plants, and it really felt like a wonderful share house where you could enjoy a soothing life every day (*^^*)”
Hitomi “A life with herbs really is wonderful, isn’t it? You can grow them yourself, harvest them, use them in cooking, or make herbal tea. Even if you come home tired every night, you can soothe yourself with the massage chair and herbal tea, reset your fatigue, and do your best again the next morning! This is a property that would truly support all of you who live and work in the city! Please do come and see it for yourself at least once☆”

What did you think??
At first glance, it feels almost like an illusion—‘Is this really in the heart of the city?’—this healing lifestyle surrounded by herbs. It really seems like you could spend each day with both your heart and body feeling enriched. Of course, this is perfect for people who love herbs, but since cooking classes and soap-making classes using herbs are also held regularly, it’s especially enjoyable even for beginners who are simply interested in herbs. In addition, there is also a relaxation room complete with a massage chair and a foot bath machine, so it’s a home with a great relaxing effect both inside and out☆
Why not master the world of herbs and boost your feminine charm??
