This is such a lovely apartment with a very Japanese feel--tatami mats and comfortable mattresses on the bedroom floors as well as a dining room with a low tea table and pillows for seating. But the place also has Western-style amenities, including a kitchen table with chairs and a living room with small sofa and coffee table upstairs. Ritsuko escorted us from the train station to the apartment, which would have been impossible for us to find on our own (although we had no trouble getting around afterwards) and showed us around the space. It was roomy and comfortable for the four of us, and extra futons are available for larger groups. She and John were available to answer our questions. If we ever return to Tokyo, we would love to stay here again.
