Kako and Keko San are wonderful host, they will make you feel so at home. They both love the arts such as drama, musicals, opera and classical music, they are more than happy for you to play their Steinway piano as well. And I am thinking to stay there again with my husband. If you want to stay somewhere close to shinjuku but off the beaten path, this is a place for you. Their house is only 5 mins walk from yoyogiuehara station and one stop away from shinjuku or harajuku. You can also explore shimoshitazawa 下北沢which is just one stop away where you can find a lot of small shops and interesting gifts.
