Tomo and Hiroko were by far the best of the best when it comes to hospitality. I really felt like they were treating me like I was their own nephew. I really felt welcomed and like I was at home. To me it really felt like I was with my real uncle/aunt from all the nice and caring ways they treated me. They were always ready and willing to make me breakfast every morning with a smile wether I woke up late or not. They are both full of knowledge of where to go eat and how to get anywhere. I was really touched when they went out of their ways (when they really didn't have to) to drive me to take me to the doctor's office to get X-rays and medicine for my ankle when it was hurting so much that I hardly could walk. Also before that they would always bring up ice packs and medicated patches for it. Also band aids for my blister (from walking almost everywhere in Tokyo) since I'm not used to all that walking because I'm a California boy raised in Los Angeles so don't laugh! Lol! Also on my last day when I had to go take a train to Narita Airport it was raining so they insisted on driving me to the nearest train station so that I didn't get wet and miss my flight.
As for the neighborhood, it was very quiet and clean. There is a playground near by with a bunch of little kids that play and a bunch of schools in the area. There is a vending machine close by just in case you need a cold drink 24/7 so always have some coins on ya and a 7-11 store in close vicinity. With a little bit of a walk you have easy access to the trains/subways that will take you anywhere. Taxis are a little hard to find in this quiet neighborhood but maybe you can call ahead and book one in advance if you really need one or if you are late.
Overall I would highly recommend anybody who goes to Tokyo to stay with Tomo and Hiroko. I really feel like I now have family in Japan!
