A unique environment reminiscent of Hawaii and the West Coast |

In the confusion of 1950s post-war America, the Golden era began and the phrase ‘The American Dream’ was born. It was also a time that brought great change to the lifestyles and culture of the people. Today we will show you a place where you can experience the American lifestyle in Japan in a house furnished with antiques based on a 1950s America theme. The exterior and interior blend seamlessly into the same, unique atmosphere and you may just be able to create a place for yourself here like you could not anywhere else. I get the impression that males in particular won’t be able to pass this one by. This is the kind of place you would love to live in just once, the kind of place you would boast to your friends and family about. Today we are going to check this unique residence out from top to bottom. Let’s not waste any time and get right into it! |

 The first thing that will catch your eye when approaching from a distance is this orange exterior. You can tell this isn’t a normal house straight away.  The entrance. The ROUTE66 sign in particular stands out among the other decorations. |

 There is a big sofa to sit down and relax in, and indirect lighting adds to the mood when night falls.  You’ll feel as if you are in a cafe or bar, when in actual fact you are in a kitchen with all the dinnerware and kitchen appliances you could ever need. |

 This is the 1F hallway. As you can surely see in the photo, a vast array of CDs are also stored here, and of course you are free to listen to anything you feel like listening too whenever you please.  Heading upstairs is almost like entering a hotel lounge. Even the smallest details haven’t been forgotten in this house’s interior design. |

 This is Room C and personally my favourite room.  One glance at this wall and you’ll imagine yourself driving across a vast wasteland in an old, classic car.  Room G is surprisingly a Japanese-style room, and would be great to hang out and relax in. |

Managing this house is the company Asian Highway. The owner is a very unique, talented individual and ever since opening as a sharehouse the property had been the embodiment of his hobbies and interests. The Asian Highway supervisor of this sharehouse told us that he does not often come across houses with such attention to detail.
Moreover, the private rooms are quite large with plenty of storage space, and as well as being comfortable to live in, the fact that you can move in and start your new life straight away from 20,000-30,000 yen is very attractive indeed.
While it might be fun to shop around and accumulate your own furniture to create the perfect interior from nothing to match your personality, it’s also interesting to add your own flair to an existing room. It wouldn’t have been so easy to create such unique and interesting interiors like the ones here, mind you. It’s almost like taking a display in a showroom and using it as is, which is a big advantage.
Gathering in the living room at the end of the day to enjoy a coffee or wine while conversing with like-minded friends is to live in luxury, and such a place to make your heart beat in hope and anticipation is right here waiting for you.
