The Kawano family were beyond exceptional! They're hospitality was the best I've ever seen. They were very attentive and generous, bringing us local apple juice and bananas. The zen house is a beautiful tranquil place and the neighborhood is filled with great eateries. It is very close to the train station and very close to Tokyo Sky Tree. Thank you Kawano family for accommodating our first trip to Tokyo! When we are back in Tokyo, we will certainly stay at the zen house again!
