We had a nice stay at Yoshi’s place. He is very nice and gave us some good ideas of where to go, and was very responsive.
The space is a street level room in a section of his house with total privacy.
It looks like a typical Japanese house in a suburb which feels genuine and quite, even though it’s on the street. There is a private bathroom and a small area to heat up food. Closest train stop is five minutes walk, so transportation to Shinjuku was easy 20 minutes.
It is a large room with lots of space, also shared with his vast collection of vintage toys which is fun but makes the room feel pretty cluttered. There is a big window behind the bed but it doesn’t open so the only air opening is a small basement style window quite high up. We like to sleep with curtains open to wake up in the morning but it was difficult because the street light was right outside the window.
Overall it was a good value place to stay,
Thank you Yoshi for the hospitality.
