Our stay in Tokyo was our first visit to Japan and our first time using Airbnb. We are truly converted.
Firstly Mikako provided us with excellent directions to her perfectly located home. A charming and quiet 5 mins walk to Yoga station passing by quaint little stores. However only 12 mins away from the excitement of Shibuya. I rate the location as very convenient.
Mikako and Yujis home was beautiful and extremely comfortable. Of course the bedroom was small however this is Japan but it was more than adequate for my husbands and my needs. The bedding was clean, warm and fresh. The bathroom facilities were excellent and Yuji washed our clothes and towels everyday which was a pleasant surprise. The remainder of the house was super clean and beautifully outfitted exactly like the photos that are presented on the Airbnb site.
The dinner and breakfasts Mikako and Yuji prepared where phenomenally good. They went above and beyond to truly give us a wonderful Japanese healthy cultural food experience with local beer and Sochu. Their warmth as hosts was much appreciated and their enthusiasm and zest for life made us feel right at home, Mikako is such a beautiful person.
Yuji took us to their local department store and gave us information about foods and prices and he was also very helpful in explaining to us how to travel to different locations around Tokyo. Yuji not only met us at the train station at 12.30 am in the morning he also dropped us off at the Shinkansen on our departure to Nagoya.
Both their adult sons were very friendly and helpful as well.
Mikako and Yuji are wonderful hosts with a beautiful home in a fantastic location. I would recommend them 10/10.
