The reviews are not overrated - Tomo and Hiroko are amazing. From start to finish they did everything to make sure we were taken care of.

Every morning Hiroko made us a huge, delicious breakfast to start our day (her homemade jam is great!) and they kindly took the time to show us about Japanese culture. If you want an authentic experience where you can learn a bit more about the culture with people who will go the extra mile to make sure everything is going well for you, this is it.

As for location, the house is situated about a 10 minute walk from a local train which connects to the main subway stations (Shibuya and Shinjuku) - we found the value to be great but do carry some extra change in an above the regular metro pass.
