I had a great stay at Kanako's Traditional Japanese House. First of all, the house is really pretty exceptional and a decent sized place for Tokyo standards. It has incredible charm. It has tatami mats and wood and paper walls. The little mat you sleep on is surprisingly comfortable when paired with the tatami mats. The air conditioning works very well. I slept well there. I stayed there alone, so that is something to consider. Two people would be fine in here, but if you had more than that, it could get a little cozy. There are many places to sit here, which is extremely lacking in other accommodations around Tokyo. You get a couch, a small chair at the desk, a white chair with a back, and a nice little bean bag chair. The little desk was extremely helpful since I do a lot of work on my laptop. I found the Pocket WiFi very convenient, but there is a "500 MB limit" sticker on the WiFi. I had a 1GB file I needed to upload and although I was careful not to use too much, I generally did what I needed to do with very fast and reliable service and never ran into interruptions or extreme slowdowns. Perhaps that limit has increased. Since it's battery powered (and has a massive 7300mAh battery in it), you can carry it around with you and avoid the need for a sim card while using your smartphone. Kitchen area with a burner, fridge, and microwave is a bit small but sufficient. The separate rooms for the toilet and bath areas are nice--the toilet has a convenient bidet. The bath area is going to take some getting used to, but the handheld shower wand will work for basic needs. If you are 5'11" like me, or taller, you are probably not going to be able to actually take a bath in this thing. There is a little laundry room behind the bath area with a washer that worked well. If you don't speak Japanese or know kanji, go on YouTube and check out a few explanations or I'm sure Kanako can help you since she speaks English fairly well. I am very much a beginner to Japanese and a little Google Translate and YouTube videos got me up and running. It's in Hanegi, Setagaya which is about a 10-15 minute walk from Shindaita station, which is on the Keio line and will get you anywhere you want to go from there. Shibuya is a relatively easy train ride since the Keio line ends there. In one stop, you can get to Shimo-kitazawa or "Shimokita", which is quite a lively and exciting place. With all that being said, you will be staying in a residential area with a 7/11 about 8 blocks up the road. If you want to be right in the action of Tokyo, this isn't going to give you what you want. If you don't mind a little bit of walking...
