Hide san is the perfect Japanese host! He has transformed his house into the most gaijin friendly place I have seen. Everything is labeled in English and so clean and well organised too :) He has free information brochures and maps of Tokyo and instructions (with pictures) on how to use all the household amenities. He has even made a video on how to get from Ryogoku station (JR) to his place! The location is close to everything...especially Sumo. I highly recommend Sumo if you come here. Hide himself is very friendly and extremely helpful, and also speaks English :) I lost my phone in Tokyo, so he took the time to go to the Police station with me and file a report. I am very grateful for that. I will definitely stay here again and so should you!
