My husband, daughter and I spent almost three weeks in Japan, travelling around and I have to say that having Yoshi's beautiful house as a base was absolutely perfect. It's a home from home with all the amenities you could require. Modern appliances galore that make your stay that much easier (and fun!). My ten year old daughter didn't want to leave, neither did we! Yoshi is the perfect host. He waited for hours I think on our arrival because the taxi driver got lost (don't worry as this is not normal), yet he was friendly, helpful and quick to answer any questions we had before showing us around his lovely house and explaining the various appliances. The Asakusa area itself is delightful - you are literally about 100 paces from the picturesque Senso-ji temple (one of the most impressive temples we saw during our travels and right on our doorstep, we felt so privileged). It is an extremely safe neighbourhood and you can walk around at all hours without feeling threatened or in danger. Japanese people in general are incredibly helpful and will aid you however they can, going above and beyond at least what a European would do.
Yoshi helped me enormously prior to my visit as I wanted to prepare everything in advance to make the most of the time we had. He seems to know just about everything and answered all of my questions in detail, even providing additional info that was very useful. If you want a real Japanese experience that respects tradition, but also allows you to 'be yourself' and have a fun and enjoyable stay, then Yoshi's place is for you. 100% recommendable to anyone. The rental price is also very good, you will not find a cheaper and more delightful abode in Tokyo! Happy holidays. And massive thanks to Yoshi and his lovely family for making our holiday that much more special.
