First of all, Tomo is a nice and gentle host, he came and greeted us in person and responded to questions quickly, it was helpful indeed.

The house is 5min walk to Otsuka Station on Yamanato Line, with easy connections to Shinjuku or Tokyo Station. One will have a few options for restaurants surrounding Otsuka Station. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe.

The house is a mix of modern and traditional rooms, so one has no problem to experience tatami bedroom! Kitchen is easy to use for cooking, one only needs to walk 3min to LIFE supermarket or a couple of other stores for grocery. We did simple cooking during our stay which made us feel like home. Living room is spacious and relaxing. After long walks in the daytime, we were so happy to get back and chill in the sofa.

It was a great first time Airbnb experience!
