A Free and Flexible Lifestyle with SOHO, DIY, and an Attached Café



Hello. Today, we visited a share house in Daikanyama, a stylish neighborhood that is extremely popular with women. This place, “Riverside Terrace Meguro Daikanyama,” is a 7-minute walk from Ikejiri-Ohashi Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line. If you use a bicycle, it is an attractive location with access to Shibuya and Daikanyama in just under 10 minutes.

There are also rooms with their own water facilities, so privacy is well maintained just like in a one-room apartment. On the first floor, there is also an urban and open café space with a terrace!
If this has caught your attention, we’re going to report on this charming share house right away♪


First, here is the girls’ report in video form♪


Mari “Riverside Terrace Meguro Daikanyama is close to Meguro and Daikanyama♪ Aki-chan, from here, it feels like you could even walk home from Shibuya.”
Aki “What a convenient location! Let’s go in right away~♪”


Mari “Aki-chan, the entrance uses a numeric keypad, so the security is perfect♪ With this, you can live here with peace of mind, right!”
Aki “The room doors can also be locked, so it has double security♪ Security is an important point for a woman living alone!”


Mari “The terrace is covered, so even on rainy days, you could probably have tea or drinks with friends there♪”
Aki “I’m impressed that there is a wood-deck terrace with the warmth of wood!”


Mari “Aki-chan, since it’s such an open terrace, it feels like we might end up drinking too much here♪”
Aki “Mari-chan, I already feel like I’m starting to get tipsy... (laughs)”


Mari “An oasis in the city. Having greenery around is so calming (*^。^*)”
Aki “You can observe the plants growing day by day.”


Mari “There are plants on top of the barrels too♪ Don’t you think the sense of style here is really good and very fashionable^^?”
Aki “So stylish~! Mari-chan, plants really suit you^^”


Mari “Inside, there is actually a café shop! Seats like a bar counter♪ If you drank stylishly here, it would feel so grown-up~!”
Aki “Of course residents can use it, but regular customers can use it too. I’d love to invite friends over and relax here as if it were our own café at home☆”


Mari “For the first six months after moving in, you can get breakfast and coffee for free! I wonder when the food will come~♪ Aki-chan (*^。^*)”
Aki “That is an unbelievably nice perk! Mari-chan, this would make waking up every morning something to look forward to!”


Mari “There’s a counter bar like this too♪ It might be nice to soak in the atmosphere while having drinks and food prepared here♪”
Aki “Mari-chan, you look relaxed watching TV. Okaay, your food will be ready soon—!”


Mari “Aki-chan, being a barista would suit you♪ Please make me a delicious coffee~.”
Aki “Yes, yes, please wait just a little longer^^ At the café, you can enjoy authentic coffee♪”


Mari “In the hallway, each door is a different color, which makes it pop and feel really fun♪ The pastel colors are so cute♪”
Aki “It has been beautifully renovated. I wonder which color door I should knock on.”


Mari “There’s even a vending machine inside the share house! You can drink juice without having to go outside, so that’s really convenient and nice♪”
Aki “It’s nice to be able to buy a drink whenever you want, 24 hours a day.”


Mari “Aki-chan, this is a one-room-type room♪ Since it comes with all the water facilities, it feels no different from a regular apartment at all♪”
Aki “The floors and walls are very beautiful too! It has a real sense of cleanliness!”


Mari “Even if I roll around on the floor, with this space and this ceiling height♪ Since it’s a one-room type, your privacy is well protected (*^。^*)”
Aki “Apparently, it can be used not only as a residence, but also as a workplace. There is plenty of space secured to line up computer desks with your colleagues.”


Mari “A TV connection port♪ If you connect a TV here, what program shall we watch today?”
Aki “I request a comedy show! Mari-chan, please bring the zabuton cushions too— (laughs)”


Mari “Your very own kitchen♪ With this, you can enjoy cooking for yourself every day♪”
Aki “Even though it’s a share house, it’s nice that you can use the kitchen whenever you want without worrying about the people around you.”


Mari “Aki-chan, the washstand has a large mirror, so it’s easy to use♪ It feels like getting dressed up every day would become even more fun!”
Aki “Exactly, I feel like I might end up spending too much time on my makeup...”


Mari “Even though it’s a share house, since there’s a shower room in your own room, you can take a shower whenever you like (*^。^*) It’s nice that you can shower without worrying about the time, isn’t it (*^。^*)”
Aki “So your privacy is properly secured. I’m the type who showers late at night, so having my own is nice♪”


Mari “This is your own private toilet too♪ Even during busy mornings, you don’t have to wait for the toilet♪”
Aki “It’s also a nice point that it isn’t a unit bath, and that the toilet and shower are each in separate individual spaces.”


Mari “Even though it’s a share house, it’s this spacious! Aki-chan, apparently DIY is allowed here! What kind of wonderful room would you make~?”
Aki “It stands for ‘Do it yourself!’ To create a room just the way I like it, maybe I should start doing some DIY on weekends~”


Mari “The kitchen only has one gas burner, but since there is a café inside the share house, it’s perfect for when you just want to do a few simple things.”
Aki “Yakisoba, omurice, curry, stew. Even with just one gas burner, you can make all kinds of things♪”


Mari “The ceiling is high too, so even if you jump like this, it’s still really high!”
Aki “Yay~! It feels so open!”


Mari “When you open the balcony door, there’s a long terrace! You could chat with friends here, or maybe hang laundry here too, right, Aki-chan♪”
Aki “This terrace is a great bonus for people living on the first floor.”


Mari “There’s a table and chairs on this terrace too♪ I have a feeling it could easily become a little gathering spot♪”
Aki “I wonder if we could become friends with the neighbors here. It feels like conversation would really blossom♪”


Mari “The second floor has a balcony. On sunny days, please hang lots of laundry out here♪”
Aki “Since it’s your own private space, you can hang laundry here without worrying about anyone else.”


Mari “The entrance is so spacious that even if you stretch out your legs like this, there’s still plenty of room♪ It really makes you wonder what furniture to put here (*^。^*)”
Aki “It’s more than enough space for one person to live in. Mari-chan, shall we live together~^^”


Mari “Aki-chan, natural light comes in from the balcony, so the room is bright! During the day, you don’t even need to turn on the lights, so it saves energy too (*^。^*)”
Aki “Good sunlight is so important, isn’t it? Mari-chan, it brightens your mood too!”


Mari “Since below is the share house terrace, it might also be fun to look down at the terrace from the second-floor balcony (*^。^*) You might even run into your friends♪”
Aki “If you made friends on the first floor too, you might even be able to chat with them over the balcony.”


Mari “There are shared shower rooms on both the first and second floors too♪”
Aki “So not only the shower room in your own room, but this one is available to use as well.”


Mari “Aki-chan, make sure you don’t forget anything in the washing machine (*^。^*)”
Aki “Okaay! These are the shared washing machines.”


Mari “Aki-chan, this room on the third floor is a 2LDK-type room (*^。^*) It looks like it would be fun for friends to live here together harmoniously!”
Aki “It would also be perfect for people who want to live together with work partners while creating things! The capacity of this room is four people!”


Mari “There is a proper kitchen here too. The third-floor room comes with furniture and appliances♪”
Aki “It also comes fully equipped with a refrigerator and microwave! You can start living here casually and easily.”


Mari “This washing machine is exclusively for the four residents, so let’s decide an order and do the laundry, okay, Aki-chan (*^。^*)”
Aki “Mari-chan, I used it first~♪”


Mari “This is a personal-use shoe cabinet♪ Aki-chan, what kind of shoes would you put in here~?”
Aki “Unfortunately, boots didn’t fit, but high heels fit perfectly!”


Mari “The upper part of the bunk bed is for sleeping, and the lower part is for storage. Since it’s the same room, Aki-chan, it would be easy to wake you up by saying, ‘It’s morning~♪’”
Aki “There are two bunk beds, each separated by curtains. Even while living together communally, you can still secure your own personal space.”


Mari “This room is divided by partitions♪ The mattress on the bed is thick, so it feels really soft~♪”
Aki “Mari-chan, are you more of a bed person? But here, it doesn’t seem like there’s any storage space...”


Mari “It’s okay! Under the bed, there is such a large storage space♪ It’s big enough that even I could fit in, so you can pack in quite a lot of luggage♪”
Aki “Oh, I see — then that’s reassuring! If it were me, I’d put books in the back and clothes in the front.”


Mari “Things you use often can go on this shelf♪ For busy people, this shelf is perfect (*^。^*)”
Aki “So you can hang clothes like coats and dresses here too^^”


Mari “This is the bathroom for the third-floor room♪ It’s so spacious that two people could get in♪”
Aki “So it’s not a shower room — it actually has a bathtub! That’s a big plus!”


Mari “The third-floor terrace is this spacious! There’s a table and chairs too, so it looks like it would be fun for everyone to eat here together~!”
Aki “It would be the best on a sunny day! I’d love to throw a party and have everyone enjoy themselves together♪”


Mari “This is the bicycle parking area exclusively for the share house! Since it’s easy to head out to Shibuya and Daikanyama by bicycle or motorbike, on days when the weather is nice, definitely enjoy cycling or touring (*^。^*)”
Aki “A stylish shopping area is right nearby! Every day would become something to look forward to!”


Mari “An urban oasis-style share house with a stylish café and terrace, plus one-room-type rooms♪ If you love stylish places, this is a must-see, Aki-chan!”
Aki “While properly protecting your privacy, you can also interact with your housemates in the shared spaces! The Daikanyama location is appealing too!”


What did you think?
Being able to relax slowly in the café inside the share house, and the wood decks on the balcony and rooftop, are very attractive too, aren’t they? I especially recommend this place to people who want to try share house living but also want to secure their own privacy. It is a space where you can live in a one-room-type room while still enjoying the good points of shared living.
DIY is allowed in the rooms, and SOHO use is also possible, so it offers a high degree of freedom. Please come and enjoy a lifestyle here that suits your own tastes♪
