Such a wonderful experience at Akanene's that we won't have enough word to explain.
Well, the house is as described, warm, clean and roomy, located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Once you get inside, the smell of wood and straw makes your mind go back to the past traditional Japan, experiencing things you've only seen on tv. The tatami room is fantasticly old-fashioned though we never try to sleep on a futon bed. Everything is bright and colourfully painted, according to Akane's artistical skills. Akane and Mitsu are super hosts, that we have the luck to meet twice during our stay. They're really nice and prompt to find a solution to whatever concern you will have. Nonetheless, Sumiyoshi Station is a 15 min walk away and next to the station there is a Life supermarket which sells a lot of stuff and ready-to-eat food. The main street leading to Sumiyoshi is full with ramen shops, bakeries, convenience stores and laundry services.
Really the best we could expect in Tokyo.
Thank you Akane and Mitsu.
