If you're looking to experience a 'tatami room' in a spacious home with a great location and a great hostess and don't mind cats, this is definitely the best place to stay.
Keiko is such a gracious hostess and very helpful as she speaks very good English. There's definitely lots of room and we are so grateful for the gardens as my husband likes to smoke a cigar in the evenings and enjoyed the gardens. There is a lovely sun room with lots of light and feels like you're sitting outside and enjoying breakfast.
Fantastic location as we had access to two stations that lead us directly to other parts of Tokyo very easily. It's also walking distance to the Yoyogi park and unfortunately we arrived too late to see the Sakura trees but I'm sure it must have been beautiful. There are lots of local Japanese and fusion restaurants nearby for meals.
I highly recommend the Fuku restaurant nearby for exceptional 'yakitori'. We were lucky to get a seat as we were told they are usually very fully booked but I sure Keiko can help make the reservation for you when you decide to go.
Keiko was very kind to take us to see Mt. Fuji and we were lucky it was a clear day so that the view was just perfect.
Keiko was full of information and we got to understand more about the Japanese culture and the region. She also took us to the shrine near Mt Fuji and explained so much more which made the visit so much more interesting.
Wifi is also available at the house and as long as you have google maps on your mobile device, you can't go wrong finding the house.
We had a very early flight and Keiko was so kind to wake up early and take us to the bus shuttle to catch the bus to the airport.
We wish we could have stayed longer.
