Summary:
Uchimuras place makes for an interesting stay in a quieter part of Tokyo. There were positives and negatives to the stay but overall it was a good experience.
The place:
The traditional decoration makes for some cool photos but the furniture is a bit old in reality and the bamboo mats give off quite a strong smell which might put off people with a sensitive nose. It's a 4floor walk up so you'll get some exercise but the place has all the features you would need. The balcony and rooftop is really nice.
Location:
The location is a bit secluded and can be difficult to find and direct taxis to .It takes a 20 minute walk to get to either of the closer stations . There's a bus you can take that significantly shortens that but can be irregular in timing. From the stations it's still a distance into more central Tokyo. Nearby there is a mall that is very convenient with a nice bakery.
The host:
All dealings with the host were very pleasant and everything was on time.
