Mikako and Yuji were wonderful hosts! Their home is warm, inviting, and impeccably clean. They make it one of the best places you'll stay at in both big and small ways, like your bed being made and clean towels in the bathroom daily, offers for home-cooked meals, travel tips -- they'll even do your laundry! And offer an umbrella if it's raining outside! Their home is also equipped with a keypad for entry so you don't have to worry about losing the keys or ringing them up to get into the home.

As far as the location goes, it's in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, and their home is a jaunt from the nearest station.

They drove me to the bus station at the end of the trip to see me off. It was the sweetest thing. Thanks, Mikako and Yuji, for the hospitable experience in Tokyo!
