The place is walking distance to the station. Bus station is closer, some 2 mins walk. Tokyo itself is a vibrant city and there's so much things to do and enjoy. Japan is well connected so its proximity to the station is a plus. The host family is the kindest and they are ready to answer all questions, at almost anytime of the day! They even drew a map for us not to get lost. We had a great time staying in their home. The place is private with amenities similar to a hotel. They picked us up from the train station when we arrived and sent us to the bus station on our way to the airport. If you are looking for a place to stay in Tokyo, this is the probably the best choice.
