Staying at Takeshi & Li's was a great experience - they have a unique space that is welcoming and cozy. Definitely a good start to my trip to Japan! It's a quiet but safe neighborhood, and I enjoyed the walks to the train station each morning. My flight was delayed by hours, and Li was understanding; she even immediately fixed me a quick dinner when I arrived. Definitely cheered me up :) Their dog is so sweet, and I'll miss her too!
