During my stay at "Miraie" I saw the future. A future where weary travellers don't stay in huge impersonal and overpriced hotels in unattractive touristy neighbourhoods. Instead, they stay with a wonderful and friendly family in a beautiful, cozy house, in a lovely residential area. The guest room area had everything anyone would need and was very comfortable. The best part was the common area, where you can interact with the family and eat a delicious home cooked meal. The Sabetto family are very warm people, very helpful and sociable. If anyone is worried about the neighbourhood being away from the centre: the public transport in Tokyo is excellent, and you can get from Osaki area to anywhere in central Tokyo in minutes. But the best part is that you can stay in a real Japanese neighbourhood that has so much to offer (the shop street just around the corner has tons of excellent restaurants). I really hope I get the chance to come back and stay with at Miraie!
