The host Taturo was one of the most welcoming and attentive host's I have had. He tries to go over and above to make people feel welcome in the home he has built, and he really is a very lovely person.

The house itself is new and well kept but quite small (most Japanese accomodation is). The location is good, just under 5 minutes walk from a train station.

All in all, a very good little base to explore those northern parts of Tokyo (Ikebukuro & the like).
