Fantastic traditional house in a slightly sleepy Tokyo suburb. The place is comfortable while still retaining the uniqueness and charm of local culture and architecture. Hotaka's house is the antithesis of the common style of sterile, same-y, and boring accommodations.
The house is great, but Hotaka really made the experience come alive. From tips on local restaurants and attractions to help navigating an unfamiliar country and putting up with my very broken Japanese, Hotaka was on point. I couldn't ask for a better host.
The house is close to two stations, which afford good access to the rest of metropolitan Tokyo. The local area also has plenty to offer in terms of tourist-y photo spots, cuisine and sightseeing.
This really is how Airbnb is meant to be, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
