The house is lovely and quaint in a lovely suburb which is wonderful to go to after a day out exploring Tokyo. The hosts are lovely and charming and the instructions are clear and precise. The house is large and spacious for Japan and the authentic old world charm is wonderful if you want a cultural experience. The neighborhood does get a bit noisy at night given the presence of trucks in the street and my child was not used to sleeping so close to the road in the upstairs tatami mat room, which can be noisy and bright for a young child.
But the house was more than adequate for our small family of 3 and it made our trip to Tokyo so much more memorable, to return to the house at the end of the day. There are loads of stores in the neighborhood and very good parks.
