This time, we visited the share house ‘Mercato Shin-Okachimachi,’ a 2-minute walk from Shin-Okachimachi Station. The theme of this property is “an Italian market.” As we walked along wondering what kind of place it would be, the three colors red, white, and green suddenly caught our eyes.
“It’s the Italian flag!”
Amazingly, the wall had been painted like the Italian flag. From the very start, it was full of playful spirit!

Not to be outdone by the exterior, the inside is also full of playful touches! Of course, that is not all—its facilities are also very well equipped. Above all, the highly distinctive kitchen is a must-see!

First, enjoy the girls’ review in video form (*´▽｀*)

Haruna “Welcome, Kaori-san! The sunlight streaming in through the windows makes it so bright, doesn’t it?☆”
Kaori “Thank you for having me～! Wow, it really is bright! It’s beautifully renovated, and the walls are so gleaming they almost dazzle me～!”

Haruna “Wow～! The little decorative items placed here as part of the interior are so cute! There are even vegetable seeds, so it looks like it would be fun to grow them on the balcony.”
Kaori “That sounds great! I heard this share house is based on the concept of an Italian market. It’s wonderful how much attention has been paid to even the smallest details!”

Haruna “There’s plenty of space for shoes too, so even people who have lots of shoes can feel at ease!”
Kaori “That’s true～! Even if you invited lots of guests over, this would still be fine!”

Haruna “Ta-da! This is what the kitchen and living room look like as a whole! The ceiling is high, so it feels incredibly spacious!”
Kaori “The height up to the ceiling looks like it’s twice my height! Haha. It feels so open～!”

Haruna “Kaori-san, amazingly, they have this wonderful service where pesticide-free vegetables are delivered once a month like this.”
Kaori “That’s amazing! How fitting for a market! It’s actually quite hard to buy vegetables in one-person portions, so this is really something to be grateful for when living alone!”

Haruna “Wow～! The appliances are well stocked too. They even have a Healsio and a Gopan! That must be great for people who love cooking.”
Kaori “I’ve always wanted to try using one at least once～! Haruna-san, let’s make bread together!”

Haruna “There’s a juicer too, so you could make smoothies with the vegetables that get delivered!”
Kaori “That would be the best～! If I lived here, I feel like I’d become healthier than I am now～!”

Haruna “The box for each person’s own dishes is large too, so it’s nice that you can fit all kinds of things in it.”
Kaori “Ah, that really helps! I end up buying plates and cookie cutters right away too, so they actually take up quite a lot of space.”

Haruna “Kaori-san, the kitchen is so spacious that it seems like cooking while chatting would be really fun, doesn’t it?”
Kaori “It really would! Haruna-san, next time let’s invite some friends over and hold a cooking class! Haha.”

Haruna “There’s so much space underneath the kitchen too, so you can store plenty and take things out right away, which makes cooking easy and convenient.”
Kaori “Really! It feels like a school cooking class! Haha. With this, it seems like everyone would start to love cooking～.”

Haruna “Kaori-san, what are you writing～? Maybe I should write a message too! Haha ^^”
Kaori “That’s something to look forward to after I write it! Haha. Doing this makes me feel like I’ve gone back to elementary school! Haruna-san, come doodle with me too!”

Haruna “An entire wall in the kitchen has been made into a blackboard, so it looks like so much fun to be able to write all kinds of messages and recipes on it☆”
Kaori “That sounds fun～! If I found a delicious recipe, I’d want to write it here and share it with everyone else!”

Haruna “Kaori-san, the antique sofa and table in the living room are both so stylish and lovely～”
Kaori “They’ve really paid attention to the furniture too～! If I lounged around here, I think I’d somehow feel very luxurious～”

Haruna “Ohh～ There’s a big TV mounted on the ceiling. I’d love to watch it while relaxing on the sofa～”
Kaori “Wow! So that’s where the TV was! It’s big! Watching movies on this would feel so powerful～!”

Haruna “Kaori-san, here’s some wine for you. With a kitchen this spacious, it seems like it would be fun to have parties here too (*´ェ｀*)”
Kaori “Thank you—shall we drink together? Haha. I want to have a party～! With this kitchen, it feels like we could make so many delicious dishes!＾＾”

Haruna “There’s an elephant on the wall. Kaori-san, look closely～ It’s in a floral pattern! So cute, isn’t it?”
Kaori “It really is～ so cute! I love that playful touch!”

Haruna “The ceiling is high, so the room feels even more spacious! The sunlight pours in, and it’s so bright☆”
Kaori “It really lets you stretch out and relax～! During the daytime, it seems like it would be perfectly comfortable even without turning on the lights!”

Haruna “It’s nice that there’s also a proper place to hang hangers, so you won’t have trouble with storage.”
Kaori “Yes, this is convenient! It’s a real blessing for stylish girls who have lots of clothes～.”

Haruna “Each room also comes with its own refrigerator, so it’s nice that you don’t have to go all the way to the kitchen to get things, right!”
Kaori “That’s true! This means something like the pudding you were planning to eat won’t get eaten by someone else! Haha.”

Haruna “The balcony is spacious too, and it feels great～! It seems like you could do all sorts of things here, like hanging laundry or growing vegetables.”
Kaori “With this much space, you could do anything! You could even put lots of plants here and make it into something like a green curtain!”

Haruna “This room is bright white overall and has large windows, so when the sunlight comes in, it feels incredibly bright! There’s a bed and a stylish, gorgeous chair, but it still feels very spacious!”
Kaori “How luxurious to be able to have this whole space all to yourself! It even looks like there’d still be room to add some favorite interior pieces of your own!”

Haruna “Kaori-san, that lovely antique chair really suits you～ It’d be nice to relax like this while reading a book!”
Kaori “Thank you～ haha. Ahh, it really is so relaxing～ I want to stay here like this forever～!”

Haruna “This room also has its own washstand, so it’s convenient because you can use it however you like, even on busy mornings☆”
Kaori “That’s true! Girls take time getting ready, so this really helps! I love brushing my teeth too, so I’d be grateful for this!”

Haruna “It also has a proper closet, so it seems like keeping things neat and organized would be easy♪”
Kaori “Even if I got inside, there’d still be plenty of room! The storage space here is really extensive.”

Haruna “It looks like the under-bed storage can hold a lot too, so that’s reassuring.”
Kaori “There’s storage here too! I’m so happy that clothes can be put away neatly!”

Haruna “The bed is actually made in Italy! I was surprised that they were this particular, even about that… ^^;”
Kaori “No wonder it felt big and comfortable! They really are particular about even the smallest details～.”

Haruna “This room has light-colored wood flooring, so it has such a warm atmosphere! It’s also nice that it comes with a wooden table.”
Kaori “That’s true～. This room also has large windows, so lots of light comes in, and it really feels warm and comfortable～!”

Haruna “Amazingly, there’s a bookshelf built into the wall! Whether you put books on it or display little items, it seems like it would be fun to think about the interior in your own way.”
Kaori “I wonder how many books it could hold? That’d be a blessing for people who love reading! It would also be lovely to decorate the extra space with photos～! Depending on your ideas, you could do all kinds of things with it!”

Haruna “The wooden antique chair is stylish and adorable! It’s fun that it rocks too～ haha”
Kaori “That’s nice～! I want to rock in it too! Haha. Since the room is spacious, there’s still plenty of room even with such a large chair!”

Haruna “This is what the TV outlet looks like!”
Kaori “If you want to quietly enjoy watching TV by yourself, this takes care of that perfectly!”

Haruna “This is another gorgeous antique chair! Since you can rest your feet on it, you can relax so comfortably～ Every chair is stylish and lovely, isn’t it? It’s nice that each room has one of these too.”
Kaori “Right! I ended up liking the furniture in every room. I want all of it…! Haha. It really makes it hard to choose which room you’d want～.”

Haruna “Amazing～! Even the shelves are pure white! Since it’s spacious, you can place all kinds of things here, and it feels like the atmosphere of the room could change dramatically depending on the interior. Just thinking about it is exciting.”
Kaori “Actually, this used to be a built-in closet! That’s so original, isn’t it! Depending on what you put here, the whole atmosphere could change completely. Since it’s spacious, you could put anything here!”

Haruna “Each room comes with an automatic fire alarm, so the disaster-prevention side is solid too, which is reassuring.”
Kaori “It’d be scary if there were ever a fire. With this, everyone can live here with peace of mind!”

Haruna “Since it has ALSOK too, the security side feels reassuring as well.”
Kaori “Even for girls living on their own, having this would make you feel secure!”

Haruna “Kaori-saaan, what kind of space is this?”
Kaori “Haruna-san! Actually, there’s storage space here too! With this much, even people who aren’t good at staying organized could probably keep their room nice and neat!”

Haruna “Kaori-san, the mirror is so large～! Two people could use it while chatting side by side. And since there are two washstands, it’s really convenient too (^_-)”
Kaori “With this, even busy mornings wouldn’t get crowded, so it really helps! Getting ready in the morning might even become fun～＾＾”

Haruna “The bath even has a bathtub, so you can take your time soaking in the hot water and warming yourself up, which is great news for people who love baths～.”
Kaori “Haruna-san, you tried getting in right away, didn’t you! Haha. This really is nice～. Especially in the cold season, you get chilled if you can’t soak in the tub.”

Haruna “In addition to the bath, there are also two shower rooms! It’s really nice to be able to use them separately depending on the situation.”
Kaori “That’s helpful when you’re busy and just want to quickly get by with a shower. With this many, it doesn’t seem like things would ever get crowded!”

Haruna “There are also two washing machines, like this! It sounds fun to write the order on the message board in the kitchen and communicate that way too!”
Kaori “The facilities really are well equipped～! Oh, that does sound fun! If you lived in this house, it feels like you’d quickly become friends with everyone.”

Haruna “The spacious kitchen, themed around an Italian market, was really wonderful and appealing～.”
Kaori “And not just the kitchen—everything else is stylish, open, and full of playful charm too! Living here would definitely be fun＾＾”

What did you think?
It wasn’t just playful—it was full of careful attention to detail, so enchanting that it almost left you spellbound, didn’t it?

The open interior, the carefully selected furniture and appliances, and above all, the spacious kitchen! Inviting friends over, making lots of delicious food, and having a lively home party... doesn’t that sound wonderful? Whether you love cooking or not... why not take a look at it for yourself at least once! A lively, fun, and delicious life is waiting for you!
