What a wonderful stay we had at the Cedar house. The K family were exactly what the term super host is for. They could not have been more helpful right from the first morning where they managed to get us in the apartment earlier than 4pm to driving us to the car hire in Aoto and staying with us till we drove away, to making a reservation at the Robot restaurant. The apartment was perfect for the three of us, clean and tidy with towels changed every day.
We feel like we had a fuller Japanese experience staying here as you eat and drink as locals do. Mr T kindly took us out to a Japanese restaurant one evening where tourists would really struggle to order anything. It was an amazing experience, a highlight.
There are many restaurants in the town and we managed to eat in a couple with no problems, both the ones we chose bought out English menus and we communicated fine even if it was just pointing at pictures. A great experience, especially cooking our own food on a charcoal grill on our table.
The apartment is a short train ride from the Sky tree, Asakusa and Ueno. It is quite a distance from Shibuya and Shinjuku which is tough getting home after drinking heavily in Golden Gai, but that negative aside we would stay here again and highly recommend it.
Thank you Mr T, Koji, Nami and their beautiful twins.
