Jojo’s house is located a quiet local neighbourhood within walking distance of two railway stations and retail centres of Otsuka and Ikebukuro. Both stations are on the Yamanote line, a short distance to major train hub Shinjuku Station and this makes train journeys anywhere in Tokyo very easy. Jojo provided an excellent house manual with directions which made the the house easy to find. The house is exactly as described. The house dates from the 1960s or 1970s and has been recently completely refurbished internally and with a new front facade. The house is clean, neat and tidy, the two beds are firm and comfortable, heating, hotwater, electric power, gas stove and wifi all worked very well for our party of three on a ten day stay.
Jojo was prompt and clear with communications before our visit and sent thoughtful follow up messages after we had arrived, and as our departure date approched.
I happily recommend Jojo’s house for visitors who wish to experience local living, in a comfortable and well set up vernacular style Tokyo house.
