Yuko is a wonderful host, she replies quickly and very informative. She even prepares welcome gift during our check-in. We traveled in group of 9 and the house is comfortable to fit in all of us. House is walking distance to Mejiro and Ikebukuro JR Station, we end up walking towards Ikebukuro Station as that area is more happening. Japanese cuisine fast food chain like Sukiya, etc serve 24hours which is convenient for early birds. Highly recommend this japanese-house for your trip.
