This was our first experience using Airbnb. Our host, Hotaka really went out of her way to make things work for us. She provided extra mattresses and futons so that the beds would not be quite so low for us older folks! Her mother welcomed us with tea and cakes when we arrived, and made sure we understood how to use the heating and kitchen equipment, since we do not read Japanese. The house is very traditional, and was a great base for us to explore the many sights of Tokyo. Hotaka provided a map of the local area and train routes so that we could make our way around comfortably. She invited us for tea at her house, where we all shared our talents - singing and acting and magic. She even took us out to a theatre in Tokyo one evening.
We really enjoyed the cooking lesson and meal with her and her mother.
We will most certainly return in future.
