I had one of the best airbnb experiences at this place. The brothers-host Takeshi and Yuuki San are super friendly and down to earth.
Our flight arrived HND airport at 1am. By the time we got to kokoro house it was about 2:30am, but both Takeshi San and Yuuki San still gave us a super warming welcome.
This place is historical, beautiful, super clean, cozy, and well-taken care. It’s not a high-end, modern hotel, but it’s something beyond that. (Actually all the appliances are really new and functioning really well)
Commute is great too. It’s about 10 mins walk to subway station. Not super close but not bad, considering how much Japanese walk daily. And you get to explore the lovely neighborhoods. It’s quiet, peaceful and full of surprises.
On the last day the host gave us (5ppl) a lift to the closest station, saving us a lot of time.
If you want to experience traditional Japanese culture and dive into what Japanese lifestyle really is. This is the place you should stay.
