Yasuko's home is in a quiet location and within a few minutes walk to the local station (Shin-Kogenei). One stop takes you to the Chuo line where you can get a train to Tokyo Central and everywhere else. Alternatively, a 15 min walk will take you directly to the Chuo line. We found this perfect. If you like wildlife and nature, then there are acres of a beautiful nature reserve very close by which we found by accident. Yasuko was very helpful, even buying a brand new bike for us when we discovered the original had a puncture and the bike shop was closed! Be sure to let Yasuko know how many rooms of her house you would like to occupy as some rooms can be closed off.
