HAUN 蔵前
HAUN Kuramae is a coliving space occupying a purpose-built 12-floor building in Tokyo's Kuramae neighbourhood, a 6-minute walk from Kuramae Station. Opened in September 2025, it offers 110 private roomsranging from 14.5 to 15.5 sqm, each with a private shower, toilet, and full furniture. The building was designed with architect-led attention to light, greenery, and what HAUN calls "comfortable personal distance". Close enough to connect, independent enough to be yourself.
Shared spaces span an entire floor and include a coworking lounge with solo booths, a library living room with sofas and bookshelves, a morning-light kitchen, a dining area, and an outdoor centre terrace with planted herbs. WiFi covers both private and shared areas. The shared kitchen is fully self-catering. Dietary options not confirmed for specific requirements. No deposit, key money, or agency fee is required.
Kuramae itself is one of Tokyo's most characterful neighbourhoods. Known as acreative and maker district, it is lined with independent coffee shops, leather goods makers, stationery stores, and design studios. The Sumida River runs a short walk away, with cherry blossoms in spring and the Sumida fireworks festival in summer. Asakusa is 7 minutes on foot.
