Stayed at Ryuichi’s 2 storey house for 4 nights with my family of 8. We were pleasantly welcomed by him during our late check-in. It is definitely easier with him showing us the house and switches. The good man had also went through the trouble to prepare a bit of snacks which delighted my young niece.
Although the house is located on a relatively quiet street, convenient stores, a large supermarket, ramen shops and other restaurants were aplenty and only require a short walk of about 5-8 mins. The nearest train station is Asakusabashi station which is a short ride to most touristy places in Tokyo, such as Shinjuku and Shibuya.
The bedrooms are exactly as the picture shown, comfortably housing my family. As with most houses in japan, there is a bathroom for showering and one for toilet bowl. Hence, we settled into a sequence somehow of who is showering and who is using the toilet. We did not use the stove but was happy to find a pull out toaster machine which could heat up some bread for a quick breakfast.
The floors in the entrance area and kitchen is not heated so they were a bit cold in the March weather. We got around that by wearing socks (he gave us some new socks too!). We got a bit confused by the different bins for combustible and incombustible garbage as we though all our garage (mainly food packaging and bottles and cans were all combustibles). Ryuichi was gracious to forgive us and help us with that.
All in all, we enjoyed the vacation stay and our experience with the super host.
