Yoko and Yasuhiro are the perfect example of "omotenashi" - the Japanese art of hospitality. We stayed for 2 months while we were looking for a place to live in Tokyo and Yoko and Yasuhiro made it as easy for us as possible. We have a young daughter and they provided tons of baby toys and even a very nice high chair, which was amazing.
Nogata is a very nice location. If you stay here, you'll get a great sense of what it's like to live in a quiet residential neighborhood in "old-style" Tokyo with tight, winding streets.
The apartment itself is spacious and well-kept.
