Tom's place is stylist & cosy, a great alternative for accommodation if standard hotel rooms in Japan are too small for you. For once, we had space to open up two large luggages (with some rearrangements of furniture)! It helped that Tom's place were near convenient shops, eateries and a large supermarket. The only issue we had was that the night we arrived, we were freezing as it was 12 degrees at night and there was no heater in the room. Overall, value for money as the washing machine and iron came in handy during our trip.
