Nishi-yokohama

Komorebi is Japanese for “sunshine filtering through leaves”. This is what you will see while living at Nishi-Yokohama sharehouse.

5 mins away from Nishiyokohama station to the busy and lively, famous destination of Yokohama station, Nishi-Yokohama House is fulfilled with a sense of peacefulness. Locating on a mid-hill road, the view from the house is just like a manga scene in the real life, where the winds rise through and the sunshine soak in, creating a refreshing feeling once you walk in the front gate.

This house features a bright and open living area. Everything is decorated simply with bright modern furniture which gives it a spacious and welcoming feeling. As you walk into the main area past the ‘genkan’ there is a large open space with several couches and two large sliding doors which fill the room with sunlight, which you can use to access the large garden area in the back of the house.

Next to the spacious kitchen, unique organic house, where tenants are free to have their own veggie growing space. Tomatoes, eggplants, lemon grass, green pepper, cucumber or even some cute flowers are now taking cared by our housemates, who enjoy the green and healthy lifestyle.

On the first floor, there is a washroom with a sink, toilet, and bathroom with a large Japanese style bath which can be automatically heated from a panel outside the room. Here you will also find the washing machine. Up the wooden stairs to the second floor, there is a small washroom equipped with a toilet and sink. On this floor, there are also several private rooms, two of which have shared access to the second-floor balcony.

In this house, it is easy to feel at home and at peace. You can relax on one of the couches in the sunlit main living area, or if you need some fresh air you always have easy access to the private garden area. There’s even room to hang a hammock from the trees outside.
