The apartment of Mari and Riku is in a quieter part of Tokyo. After a long day in the busy city, with a head full of impressions it is wonderful to return to the silence of this Japanese house. and relax. Mari and Riku are very kind and helpful hosts. Riku took me after my stay by car to the station, very early in the morning! The apartment is very clean and has everything you need on your stay. You sleep on the floor on Tatami Mats and in the morning the sun shines through the balcony door. The best thing: the bicycles, Riku has three bicycles for his guests. I cycled every day to the station to take the train to the city and made a wonderful cycling tour along Tama River. To cycle through Toky is a great experience! While not directly in the center of Tokyo, you really have to do the same as a lot of Japanese who work in the city and live in Fuchu: take the train there and back. But it is worth it, I can highly recommend Mari and Riku's apartment to all Tokyo travelers who like to see something of Japanese life outside of the bubbling center!
