We really liked this place - beautiful peaceful area, only half an hour to Shinjuku, very friendly and extremely helpful hosts, helped us a lot with organising sim cards for our trip! It was a bit cold when we arrived, but there was a heater/aircon/dehumidifier unit which was great, and a little Japanese bath. The house is modern and interesting, unusual triangular construction and nice windows onto the scenic cycle path. Our hosts made a point of coming to say hello to us, even when we were so jetlagged get that we missed their first couple of visits! Overall, a great stay. Nice and close to the station and useful shops! Only recommendation would be that it would be nice if there was a proper little sofa, just because we were there for a long time, and it was hard to be comfortable on the folded up futon for long periods of time, but for a shorter visit this would be no problem at all. We had a lovely time and we are very grateful to our hosts! They even left us a little good basket for our arrival, which was very thoughtful. Would recommend this place to family and friends. Great a value, great experience. Thank you!
