I have had a really great stay, the house is clean, tidy and modern. It makes me feel at home. My room is airy,bright and beautiful, the bed is super comfortable too.
Mikako san, Yuji San and Koki san(Sorry Ryoto san I didn't manage to meet you) were all incredibly friendly and helpful! Yuji san waited for my check in patiently, as I arrived late than expected from Hakone. On the day of my departure both Mikako san and Yuji san drove me to the airport express bus station very early in the morning. They also invited for dinners and Mikako san is such a fantastic chef, cooking delicious and healthy meals. I also had a brief chat with Koki san, who is energetic and very smart, working hard at a big corporation while still doing own startup. I truly feel they are now my friends after this short stay in their beautiful home.
The area is perfect, quiet local residental area but very close to Yoga station, cute shops, supermarkets. Easy access to public transit and public parks. The train from Yoga goes to Otamachi station directly. What a nice spot! I totally recommend staying here :)
