The hosts were wonderful. Koji and Nami were so generous and took such great care of us. We even got to cuddle their newborn twins. The house is wonderful and exactly as described but better. It even has a washing mashine and dryer. They even did our washing every day and gave us clean towels almost daily..!!! Koji even took me to get pizza and then picked it up and delivered it when it was cooked. There were eight of us and we fitted in very comfortably. The two toilets were very handy for 8 people. The wifi in the house clocked out at 60 Mb/ sec which made the entire family very happy as we survive in Australia on 1Mb/sec. The portable wifi made getting around so easy.
We wanted a realistic modern Japanese experience and that is exactly what we got. We cannot recommend our hosts any higher. They were genuinely interested in our needs. Katsushika is a lovely suburb of Tokyo which is a 20 minute train ride to the centre of the city. It has a very friendly feel with small streets, lots of great handy shops and lots of bikes. The house is 350 m from the station without the train noise. A wonderful time. Thanks.
