We absolutely loved our stay in Rinataro’s lovely property! From the thoughtful modern decor, to the lush plant life, to the rooftop bath, there was so much to love about the space, and it became a much-needed calm respite from the bustle of Tokyo. It was really great to be the only people in the building, so the space felt entirely our own. It was also in the perfect location—steps from a subway stop with lines that ran to all the places we wanted to be or allowed for seamless transfer. The small itself is small, but coming from NYC, was nothing new to us, and the space was used efficiently and smartly. We especially loved the cleanliness of the bathroom, the fresh coffee every morning, and natural light that came through the large windows. We didn’t cook, but there were plenty of spices and basic foodstuffs to make a meal on the small range. Also, make sure you try the karaage place downstairs—some of the best fried chicken we’ve ever had, we always grabbed a few pieces to go on our way up to our room because the smell was too heavenly to resist! We didn’t spend much time in the area, but there seemed to be plenty of great restaurants, bars, and corner stores to suit every need. Thank you, Rintaro, for sharing your wonderful space with us—we’re already planning our return trip!
