Tanya and Toshiro are extraordinarily good hosts. Their home is beautiful and the neighborhood is peaceful, but still in walking distance of Shimokitazawa and Shibuya. The bus stop for Shibuya is only a few minutes walk from their doorstep if you don’t feel like walking. I was amazed that Tanya did our laundry every two days and there were new Japanese snacks as well as tea, coffee, and towels in the room each day. We stayed for 4 days, then went to the countryside for the weekends and came back to stay with them for 5 days. We had a blast and it was a privilege to stay with them.
