If you want the experience of living in traditional authentic Japanese residential architecture, then I highly recommend Old Folk House. This style architecture mastered the art of incorporating efficiency minimalism and practicality in a unique Style that Frank Lloyd Wright used throughout his life. Old Folk House includes these basic stylistic elements such as tatami mat flooring sliding partitions and recessed built in furniture. It also includes everything you would expect in a modern residence. the home includes a second floor bedroom, with separate air conditioning for the first and second floors. It is located in a very quiet residential neighborhood where you are with local folks including parents children grandparents teens children in school uniforms and working adults of all ages. The host provides excellent instructions on how to find the home. In our experience we were able to reach all of the major attractions in the Tokyo area within 20 to 40 minutes. We stayed for 9 days and and had a wonderful time.
