Yanaka is a picturesque, laid back part of Tokyo and full of little gems to discover. Hiroyukis place, perfectly located to explore the area by foot, is one of them. The room is a shadowy, spacious refuge, and the sento bath is part of the experience, too. It is where local people come together until late at night to scrub themselves off, have a chat and unwind. To the visitor, this gives a glimpse into the life and community in Yanaka.
We did not meet Hiroyuki personally but the communication via email was comfortable. The organization was great. Overall, I have only praise for this accommodation and would recommend it to anyone interested. Thank you Hiroyuki for this wonderful experience!
