We so enjoyed staying at Rintaro's place for the last half of our Japan honeymoon that it was hard to leave to go explore Tokyo! His place provides everything needed for a short-term stay - including a washing machine, which we found very helpful. We loved all his interesting books and art as well. Would have loved to explore more of the charming neighborhood around his place but since it was New Year's, a lot of shops were closed so Rintaro helpfully provided suggestions of where to eat. Only wish we had gotten a chance to use the rooftop bath!
