Satoshi & Hitomi’s place is in a lovely quiet suburb of Tokyo. The flat is immaculately clean and even with the shared entrance the space is separate and private. Other people have commented on the location and it is in the suburbs so expect a commute. We were visiting family in Tama so couldn’t have been more perfect. The other fact is that Satoshi and Hitomi feel that picking you up from the station and dropping you off (even for early morning flights) is part of their role as hosts. Whilst we didn’t want to impose they are genuinely happy to pick you up and drop you off when you arrive and depart with bags. As hosts they are very welcoming, point out local bus stops and shops, baked lovely bread 😊, kept us informed and extended invites to local events. If you want an experience that brings a closer insight into Japanese life then I would highly recommend staying here, we were very busy when we stayed with a packed schedule so didn’t spend time with our hosts. This wasn’t awkward and as two warm and friendly hosts wish we had more time to spend there.
