Fun house, with everything you need for 6 people. The Pencil House is in a wonderful position, 15 minutes walk from Shinjuku Station from where you can go anywhere in Tokyo, yet in a neighbourhood of small houses individually owned houses. There are lots of restaurants and local stores nearby. There’s an excellent park for children 10 minutes walking distance from the house, Shinjuku Central Park. You can go to the 45th floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for free and have a coffee looking out over the whole of Tokyo.
The only problem we had was arriving by car without being able to input the address in the satnav because that required Japanese. But Ash found us and guided us to the house. Any query we had, we texted Tracey, who immediately answered.
