We had a fantastic experience at the Old Folk House. Communication before and during the visit was great. Directions were clear (including the cab direction sheet in Japanese). Our hosts were very friendly and made sure we felt welcome.

The house itself was just what we were looking for- tons of character, a nice residential location with easy access to transit, groceries, and even Blue Bottle coffee not far away (and a 7-11 only a short block away). The heated kotatsu table was nearly enough to make us give up sightseeing and just snuggle at the cozy table all day! But getting out was well worth it- be sure to walk over to the Kiyosumi gardens a gorgeous traditional Japanese garden. It wasn't on our list of things to do, but we stumbled across it after getting coffee at Blue Bottle one morning, and it was a highlight of the trip.

We would definitely stay here again!
