We had a lovely time! If you're a cat lover, you have to stay here! Mie has a number of cats in her house (which is itself a cat shrine at street level) and you can come by and visit them anytime. Even if you don't stay in the space attached to her place, you can still visit, like we did.
Yanaka is a chilled out alternative to busier and louder areas of Tokyo, while still being accessible. The neighbor is quiet and walkable, but still has lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Lots of subway options and also easy to access Ueno Park and station there as well for bigger train lines, like the Yamanote line.
And the space was beautiful! Lots of original art by Mie herself, in a cozy and comfortable more traditional Japanese house.
Looking forward to staying again next time at one of her listings!
