Sayoko is a wonderful host - she gave us the feeling of being very welcome right from the beginning. Her apartment is very clean and lovely and is situated in a central but not touristic part of the city. Nevertheless, if you should choose to spend your time and money at the usual touristic traps rather than at the beautiful suburb and street full of small shops, all public transportation you need is really close by. When we come back to Tokyo, we would surely love to stay here again.
