We stayed at Rumika's and Emi's place over the Christmas period. They were both warm and inviting host, making sure that we felt the Christmas spirit even though we were away from home.
Their home was spacious enough for 4 adults and 3 kids. Centrally located and near to two train stations which connected us to many of the tourist sights in Tokyo.
Double plus points for a supermarket nearby and lots of good restaurants and food places in the surrounding area. We found lotsa of hidden food gems in the Hatsudai area.
