I had a wonderful stay at Wakana's house which is simply beautiful. My tatami room was simple, tastefully furnished and extremely clean with a spacious walk-in wardrobe. The house is light, airy and tranquil, with exotic plants and a gorgeous cat for company. Wakana is the perfect hostess, kind, welcoming and fun to talk to. She met me with umbrellas when I got lost in the rain, then saw me off at the station when I departed. We walked round Shimokitazawa and she introduced me to many shops and good places to eat. We had dinner at a yakitori place which had so much character and where the food was very reasonable and delicious. I discovered a part of Tokyo that I have rarely seen. I would want to come and stay in this exceptional b & b again.
