Firstly, the location is amazing! It’s in a the cutest little spot down a cobbled laneway. Magical! It’s very close to lots of restaurants and two convenience stores close by which had almost everything we needed for self catering.
The home has a lovely feel with traditional features that made us really feel like we were in Japan. Our three children loved sharing a room with tatami mats sleeping on futons together.
We are from Australia and were worried about the cold, but the reverse cycle air conditioning units were new and heated the house well.
Communication was prompt however we had a problem with a light in the main bedroom which was not acknowledged or resolved. Having no light in the main bedroom was frustrating because there is minimal natural light during the day.
The internet is fast and reliable.
The kitchen is basic but functional. We had some trouble with needing to keep all of our rubbish inside until they could pick it up for us due to guest rules, but they were unable to pickup any rubbish for us during the week so we had a weeks worth of rubbish (family of five) inside the house.
The courtyard is beautiful and private, and our children enjoyed playing outside, even in the cold.
Overall, the location and interior design of the house is wonderful and helped us to have a great week in Tokyo.
