Airin House was about 15 min walk from the nearest station Sengenjaya ,(it’s was 3 stops from one of the main station Shibuya using the DT line ).. We have to carry our 4 heavy luggage up one flights of stairs up to the house , not suitable for elderly with legs problem . Electricity seems unstable .. blackout happened a few times during our stay .. basically you cannot on the air con heater , shower heater and boil water with the kettle at the same time , the electricity will tripped but there is a circuit breaker at the door so it’s safe . Airin”s house is very clean and tidy . All necessary items from pots and pans , detergent , toothbrush , shower gel etc all available .Airin the host meet us at the station and walk us all the way to the house and she will give us info about where is the location of supermarket , convenient stall and some land mark but difficult to remember all that she spoken of but it’s all right as we will usually go explore the area ourself . Just remember to go Carrot Tower 26 level .. there is a viewing galley to see Tokyo all around and if the weather is good .. you can see Mount Fuji from here and it’s free of charged !!!
We are cut short of using the free WiFi for a few days (there should be free WiFi gadget for us to bring out )because the previous people that stays overused . Luckily we have our own gadget .. we tried using the WiFi from the host for awhile .. it was very weak and will be disconnected regularly . Please prepare your own WiFi gadget .. you will need it to find ways about and different train route to take while traveling around Tokyo .. the train systems is complicated .and many Japanese cannot understand English .. not easy to ask for advise on train route . Google map really help us a great deal !
Airin is basically nice and helpful but seems to be always in a rush . She knows my family is vegetarian and she prepared some condiment for us . Greatly appreciate her thoughtfulness . Some of the info we get from her might not be totally correct which is all right because she cannot know everything , so we will usually google and reconfirm again before we head out .
It’s not easy to find vegetarian food in this area .. Tokyo station have a vegan / vegetarian T’s Tantan vegan Ramen which is very nice .
The stay at Airin’s House was basically good .
Thank you Airin for the good hospitality. We will still wants to stay in her house again if we are going Tokyo in the near future .
