Thank you, Koji and Nami for your hospitality and being so helpful and sweet. First off, the directions to the apartment were very detailed and we found it with ease. The apartment is beautiful and very comfortable and all five in my party really enjoyed the space. The neighborhood has a lot to offer within very short walking distance. Bakeries, markets, restaurants. Nami also has created a website recommending restaurants. I don't think this is on her list, but if you are adventurous and want to try delicious braised chicken skin and RARE chicken in spicy ponzu sauce, head over to Torifusa.

As for the hospitality, Koji and Nami brought us some delicious local apple juice, which was a sweet gesture. And on a daily basis, they replaced our towels, took out our garbage, and even washed the dishes we had left in the sink. They also drove us to the train station on our last day so we wouldn't have to lug all our baggage on foot.

I would definitely stay at the Bamboo Lodge again, if I'm ever lucky enough to be in Tokyo again.
