Every share is real ownership.

A share is a permanent co-ownership stake in this house, issued once and held for as long as you like. It is not a membership that renews and not a booking that expires. kessaku runs the house entirely for you: cleaning, utilities, maintenance and insurance, with a reserve maintained from operations for future repairs, and the property-level accounting, licensing and filings handled on your behalf.

The owner marketplace, 2027.

A dedicated marketplace for listing shares to future buyers arrives alongside the first operating year, beginning with the waitlists of houses that found all their owners.

Or simply keep them.

Your annual nights reset at the start of each calendar year for as long as you hold the shares, and the house is cared for either way.

1960

Standing since 1960.

1960Believed to date from the 1960s, the house reflects a quieter, more intimate side of Tokyo. Its original occupants are unknown, but its modest scale recalls a time when homes and small workshops stood side by side in Higashi-Mukojima. Beyond these neighbourhood streets, Japan was looking towards the future. Architecture, technology and design were entering an era of bold experimentation. That contrast became the inspiration for Futura House: an ordinary Tokyo home from an extraordinary period of imagination.
2026The house is being reimagined as Futura House, Showa Vintage Tokyo, drawing on the playful optimism of Japan's space-age design era. Glass blocks, sculptural furniture and a striking red alcove give the home a new identity, while exposed timber beams preserve a visible connection to its past. Rather than recreate the 1960s, the design brings the spirit of the era into contemporary life. A distinctive Tokyo home, thoughtfully reimagined for a new generation of owners.

The plan.

Futura House takes inspiration from Japan's bold design culture of the 1960s and 1970s, when the future felt full of possibility.

Architects of the Metabolist movement imagined buildings that could grow and change, while Osaka's Expo '70 showcased experimental structures and new ways of living. It was an era of remarkable creativity, with ideas that still feel futuristic today.

Futura House brings that optimism into the home. Glass blocks, curved furniture and vivid colours capture the playful spirit of the period. A rounded red alcove recalls capsule architecture, creating a small retreat within the living space.

Upstairs, original character remains visible in the exposed timber beams, contrasting with the sculptural furnishings below.

Rather than recreate a home from the 1960s, Futura House takes inspiration from an era that dared to imagine something different. A piece of Tokyo's past, reimagined for the way we live today.

Sumida, Tokyo · Minutes from Asakusa

Just beyond the historic streets of Asakusa and the unmistakable Tokyo Skytree, Sumida offers a more local side of the city. Traditional homes, small workshops and generations of craftsmanship give the neighbourhood a character of its own.

Here, Tokyo's creative heritage is part of everyday life. Explore the Sumida Hokusai Museum, discover the intricate art of Edo Kiriko cut glass, or wander through streets shaped by local makers and artisans.

Nearby Asakusa brings you to the famous Sensō-ji Temple and the atmosphere of old Tokyo, while Tokyo Skytree offers a striking contrast with its modern skyline.

Along the Sumida River, cherry blossoms welcome spring and the celebrated fireworks festival marks summer. It's a neighbourhood that offers something different with every season, with some of Tokyo's best-known sights close by.

What was kept, and what was made new.

Futura House brings the bold shapes and colours of Japan's space-age design era into an intimate Tokyo home.

Glass blocks filter natural light across honey-coloured walls, while an oval timber table, sculptural white chairs and a saucer-like pendant give the dining area its distinctive character.

At the heart of the ground floor, a rounded red alcove creates a small retreat within the home. Inspired by capsule architecture, its curved opening frames the dining room while offering a cosy place to read or unwind.

Upstairs, exposed timber beams contrast with a curved charcoal sofa, an orange accent chair and sculptural lighting. A desk beside the window makes room for quieter moments.

As daylight fades, warm lighting brings out the rich colours and textures of the interior.

The result is a home that feels both familiar and unexpected, where the character of old Tokyo meets the playful imagination of another era.

Art. 3 and 6

Fees

When you stay: $100 current cleaning fee per stayMay adjust within the agreement's cap of 10% a year on ninety days' notice
When a night you made available is rented: 15% kessaku management fee and property operating costsDeducted from gross guest revenue before any owner payout
When you sell: 10% transfer commission
Every year, for owning: $0 annual owner dues

What counts as property operating costs?

Cleaning between guests, utilities, repairs, insurance, local taxes, and the contribution to a reserve maintained through the house's operations. Major repairs are managed through the property's insurance and reserve fund rather than special repair contributions from owners; damage an owner causes during a stay remains that owner's responsibility. Property insurance includes earthquake and natural-disaster cover, and the insurance schedule is available for review.

Art. 7, 9 and 10

Rental income

What happens: Nights you have not booked remain in the rental pool automatically; kessaku rents them as whole-house stays under the house's hotel business licence. Rental income is not guaranteed.
When you are paid: The rental year closes 31 December. Your annual payout follows by 31 January, in US dollars, to a bank account in any country; your bank may convert it and charge for doing so.First rental year closes 31 December 2027. First payout follows by 31 January 2028.
How it is calculated: Gross guest revenue, less property operating costs, less kessaku's 15% management fee, distributed to owners in proportion to their unused nights.
Current projections: Expected case: $300 guest rate, 60% occupancy, operating costs modelled at 18% to 32% of gross.

Projections are not operating history; Futura opens in June 2027. Accommodation value and cash payout are never added together, and resale value is not forecast.

Tax and reporting

kessaku handles property-level accounting, any required Japanese withholding, and provides an annual statement of your payout. You file your own return in your country of residence.

Art. 10

Important considerations

The points worth understanding before you request an allocation.

Rental income: Futura opens in June 2027, so the figures shown are projections rather than operating history. The assumptions are shown openly in the planner so you can see exactly how they are calculated.
Resale: Your shares are transferable to another buyer, subject to kessaku's approval. The owner marketplace planned for 2027 is designed to make listing shares easier. As with any resale, the future selling price is not guaranteed and may be above or below your original purchase price.
Ownership below 30 shares: 1 to 29 shares are held as contractual ownership under the kessaku co-ownership agreement. At 30 shares, registration on the land and building title is added.
If kessaku cannot operate: Your ownership does not disappear if kessaku can no longer operate. The property would either continue under a new operator, with owners retaining their shares, or be sold, with the sale proceeds distributed to owners in proportion to their shares.
Booking: Bookings are first come, first served within your booking window. High-demand dates such as cherry blossom and autumn foliage can fill early; holdings of 30+ shares receive the longer 12 months booking window.
Fees and currency: Fee changes are subject to the caps and notice periods set out in the agreement. Purchases and payouts settle in US dollars, so owners whose home currency is different should account for exchange-rate movements.
