The place is a winner in my book. Two spacious “Japanese Style” rooms that are a great communal space, and then convert to sleep up to 6 people. Really cool structure, it’s apparently 100 years old, and retains a lot of the historical styling / feel. Would love to book a longer stay if I returned to Tokyo with a group.
Convenient location on the yamanote line, in a nice residential-ish area with some little restaurants and the like nearby. It’s a little tricky to find if you don’t follow the given directions, but once you’ve seen it it’s easy to get back to. Area was very quiet, reasonably priced, futons felt good.
Only possible issues a) it’s obviously an old house, so there’s not a lot of outlets if your group has a ton of devices to manage, but we had 6 people and didn’t have an issue b) it’s not super well insulated, so you will get a little brisk in winter, I felt it was fine in November, but some people felt it wasn’t ideal. If you’re a temperature sensitive group it may not be optimal.
Host was very helpful and accommodating, helped us orient in the surroundings and had recommendations for the immediate area, communication was quick and easy.
