I stayed for two nights with a friend, marking the end of my trip to Japan and was aiming for a more laid back time after a few days in Tokyo (which this place was perfect for). Keita picked us up from the station and even took us shopping for dinner and breakfast (most places are at least 15 minutes walking distance away). Both evenings we had long and fun conversations, Keita is a great guy! He also gave us some pointers for what do to in the surroundings, and there's surprisingly much: Kongo-ji in Takahatafudo, Mount Takao (+ onsen), another onsen in Tama (and apparently a Hello Kitty theme park), ... we opted for a stroll through the neighbourhood along the river to Takahatafudo followed by an onsen visit. In fact, behind the house there's also short hiking trails with great views of the surroundings. The common areas were a bit chilly at night (though from my experience so far that seemed to apply to most Japanese houses where I stayed), but our room was cosy and warm. Overall had a really good time, especially due to Keita's hospitality and fun personality.
