Sohei's place has everything a family needs to have a comfortable and pleasant stay in Japan. It is an old house in a quiet area so it is may be more appealing to families who prefer to cook themselves. The house has everything except a dryer but you can use the laundrette that's very close to the house. In fact, we loved walking to the laundrette as it's close to Lawson (convenient store) and we would usually stop by to get drinks and some halal onigiri. There's a small mall beside the train station with a market at the lower floor to buy groceries, and there are parks to explore in the area. The train ride to Shinjuku takes around 30 minutes (or less if you know how to take their express trains - I suggest downloading the Official Japan Travel app). All in all a great place to stay.
