Kota is a really great host! His house is really cool for a super authentic Japanese feel and was clean and everything in working condition. Kota is really thoughtful, and provides a lot, including fresh towels and toothpaste, and he even put Vegemite in the fridge! (we're Australian so that is awesome for us) You should definitely try the teas and we loved the heated table in the lounge :) The area is quiet and a little bit further away from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya etc. but Ueno is really close (and has lots of karaoke and parks) and Kota was kind enough to give us maps and explain to us all the good landmarks nearby. We felt very at home :) Thanks again Kota!
