If you are looking to experience local life in a typical Japanese house in the suburbs of Tokyo at a very reasonable price, this is a great place. The house is small, like most Japanese houses, but everything you need is supplied. You sleep in a tatami mat room, soak in a Japanese style bath and enjoy a warmed toilet seat! Getting into the center of Tokyo is very easy. The train station and subway are within very short walking distance and you can reach places like Ikebukuro in 5 minutes and Shinjuku in 10 minutes. The only negative points are that it is a little cold in the winter (although there are heaters and an electric blanket) and the stairs to the second floor are very steep. So if you are very sensitive to the cold or have trouble with stairs, this might not be the best place for you. Other than those two points, everything was great. Chie is exceptionally good at communicating and responds very quickly. Thanks, Chie!
