Looked for a room, found a home. :)
Masaru communicated with me and picked me up from the station the first time as I didn't want to waste time getting lost finding his place and along the way he introduced to me the restaurant and amenities around his home. He also gave a simple travel guide to Japan/Tokyo once I arrived. I was also invited to join his family for meals whenever they cooked and were free. It was very interesting chatting with them and finding out about his past guests, their photos were pinned on two boards in the dining area. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and towels and hair dryer were also provided. Basically, they treated me like they were hosting a friend or family and were very helpful throughout. They have a cute Pomeranian dog too. It is a nice place to stay, out from the city, but still very convenient to go to all the popular places in Tokyo.
