My mother and I had a fantastic time staying with Kako and her mom! Their house is gorgeous, the accommodations were excellent (own bathroom, shower & TV, plus house-wide wifi) and the garden provided a wonderful green environment that filtered out any suggestion of city living (no neighbor or street noises). The cats were no problem for me, but my mother is slightly allergic and as such became a little itchy after our week-long stay.

Every morning we had a delicious breakfast with Kako's mom, and she had great recommendations of places to eat and things to see and do. As many other reviewers have said, Kako and her mother are fluent in English.

On the short walk through the neighborhood to the Chiyoda line station we passed so many small bakeries and izakayas, as well as an organic vegetable store. Again, this location is ideal for anyone visiting Tokyo but not willing to deal with the hustle-and-bustle of staying in downtown. I would 100% recommend this place to any and all, and I plan to stay here again in the future.
