Akane and Mitsu were very great hosts. The instructions to get to the house were very accurate and easy to follow. They welcomed us the day we arrived with green tea and gave us suggestions on what to do around the neighborhood. The House is AMAZING. Everything is prepared and supplied. Everything was very clean and super cozy. The main feature of the house is its traditional style which gave us a more intense japanese experience. Very recommended and definitely will come back for my next trip to Tokyo.

We had such a lovely stay here. The house is beautiful and host was very helpful and kind. It was a nice location and had everything we needed. Pocket wifi was very helpful!

The old folk house is a really nice place which leave me a deep impression. A tidy house with a warm-hearted owner. The house included nearly all the equipment to live a sufficient life here. We can cook meal here, sit in the small garden and drink a cup of tea or watch a movie with the free Wi-Fi in the house. Before the trip, Mr. Mitsu helped book the bus ticket for us and also recommended useful local website which was a great convenience to us. On the first day we arrived, it was nearly about midnight, but he was still waiting for us, he welcomed us and introduced the house to us. He also took us from the house to the subway station on the day we left. We had a lot of luggage on the last day so it was really nice of him. The old folk house feels just like your home in the foreign country and live in this place is one of the best ways to experience and enjoy the Japanese life.  

The house was wonderful, just as the listing described. It is hard to find, but the host provided great photo directions. The neighborhood felt really safe, and there are good restaurants around.

Mistu and Akanene were so nice and friendly, impressied by their super hostpitaly. I will stay at their house again if some day I back to Tokyo. Alice

All you need for a stay in Tokyo is in Akanene's house, and they are the most charming hosts I've met, very generous and accommodating. I will come back a third time!

Best private lodge I had ever been, especially with the traditional inner style. It was a pity that we couldn't chat for longer time, I wish I could come to Tokyo again and live in this same place.

We literally had everything needed in this amazing house; all the essential things including toiletries, fast internet access, and cooking equipments! :) Things were organised yet the old Japanese style well remained, it was such a cozy stay! We felt so much like home!! It's a bit far away from the nearby train stations but easy to find because Akanene informed me of such a detailed instruction to get to the place.

special thanks to Koji for this wonderful place to stay, the room is cozy just the right size for two. The place is really convenient, short distance to the station, lots selection of restaurant and bars open late to hang. The host also provided a portable wifi which is a big plus!!!! they are very kind to let me dropped off my luggage on my last day til the time i take off to Narita airport. I had a good time staying here and would recommend my friends for their future visit.

very very nice place. the house is made of pine, and the color is very soothing. everything inside the house is neatly prepared. I felt luck to stay here. I can recommend this place with confidence.

The stay was very nice, everything organised very well by the hosts (maps, travel details) and the apartment is beautiful. I really enjoyed spending 4 days in Tateishi, thank you Koji!

My stay could have not been any better, such wonderful hosts!! Koji & Nami provided easy, clear directions to their apartment from Natita and came to meet me when I arrived in Tateishi. Koji invited me to dinner with Nami and some of their friends which was awesome, it was such a great way to be welcomed into Japan! It was very helpful that Koji spoke amazing English and could help guide me around the city and make recommendations of stuff to do in Tokyo. I fell in love with Tateishi where the apartment is located. It is removed from the busyness of Tokyo and a nice escape after a long day of being out and about. It is still very close to so many great sites....shibuya, harajuku, asakusa, and so many more! The actual apartment is very charming and comfortable, just the right amount of space . The pocket wi-fi was a life-saver, and made moving around the city so easy! I would not hesitate about staying with them again, and look forward to returning maybe in the winter time. Thank you Koji & Nami!

It is our first time booking Airbnb and I must say that the experience was awesome with Koji, Nami and Mr. T. These are amazingly friendly and awesome people, and they are always ready to help with little tasks like doing laundry or helping us with our luggage. They are also very detail-oriented and provided us with many suggestions of tourist attractions and fun places to visit. Koji did all the bookings for us to visit restaurants and also booked the appointment for our kimono photoshoot. To sum it up, our hosts provided excellent service and are extremely fun people to hang out with! The apartment itself is also wonderful. I love this traditional style Japanese apartment as I feel it offers something unique and authentic that I may not be able to find in the city. Even the neighbourhood is very charming. The neighbourhood might not be in the city, but I find it a very nice and tranquil place to just hang out and explore. All in all, our experience with Koji, Nami and Mr. T was absolutely wonderful! Would definitely recommend this to anyone. And if we ever do go back to Tokyo, we would not hesitate to go back and stay there! :)

Amazing place and great Hosts! =)

Nice host, check what we need right after we arrived. The house is cozy and clean. Only a little far from city. Highly recommend!

Koji and Nami are great hosts. Their place is in a very quiet neighborhood, but a short walk to the train. It is a wonderful home base for exploring Tokyo. When we got to the apartment they brought us some fresh fruit too. They live close to the apartment and they invited us to see their 22 year old cat! Very cute! The apartment is a good size Japanese standards and looks just like the pictures. We want to go back soon!

We enjoyed our stay immensely. You couldn't ask for more. It is very tidy. we loved the neighborhood as well.

Our host was very accommodating, available if needed ,,, good communication protocol.

It was a pleasant hospitality gave by brett and Yurie . The room was clean and comfortable eventhough a bit small for 4 of us , but with the soft bed and warmer device at our bed , the size of the room can be ignored :) We really enjoyed in Tokyo . Thanks Brett !

Great apartment. Great host. Great price. Couldn't have asked for much more.

the appartment Brett & Yurie was perfect, location 10-15 minute walk from Ikebukuro Station in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood pavillonaire; the housing space is cozy with a pleasant interior design. Arriving fresh water was available in the fridge, confectionery and fans to prevent heat from me in August. We had the pleasure to meet them and were able to dispose of their precious tips to visit the city of Tokyo according to our desires. I recommend everyone to go home to visit Tokyo! Brett and Yurie thank you for your Home;)

such a lovely place to stay in when you're visiting Tokyo like we did just a couple of days ago. You'll find anything you need in a small but very cozy place. Also the position of the apartment makes it easy to reach the most visited attractions in Tokyo via train, just make sure to book a JR pass in advance online. Brett was a nice host and assist us with every info that we needed and made everything smooth and easy going. Cheers.

Brett and Yurie were very responsive and very warm hosts. The appartment were one of the cosy we visited. Very quiet, and with a charming balcony, great shower, and furniture... and a heating blanket! For sure, we will come back (if there is availability!!)

The place is very near ikebukuro, awesome place. We didn't see Brett but he msges everyday to check on us. Thoughtful host! =)

Kazu was the sub-host for the place, and he was very accommodating and helpful when you have questions. The bed is decent for the price you paid for. You can make it comfortable by adding a little more blanket. I bought my own pillow knowing that they will provide me a square shaped pillow. Turn on the fan to keep you cool for the summer and don't forget that typhoon season will give you rain and a cold night. So, be careful of that. They have a kitchen for you to use and make your own meal. They provide shower, bath tub, and washer, too. Gen and Tomo are very nice people. Make effort to say hi to them.

The home was very nice, and I made some friends even though I only stayed for one night. The host was very helpful and accommodated me when my plans unexpectedly changed. The rooms are nice and the location is too... lots of restaurants around, and easy train access to the rest of Tokyo. Thanks for the great stay!

It is very cosy atmosphere in GenTomo, and I could stay there again. As described, the bed is in the balcony so you hear trafic and heat pump humming. I had ear plugs and winter sleeping bag to keep warm. Overall an okay experience!

Genji-San and Tomo-san and also the others at GenTomo house is a very very very nice people. you will be greeted with a hug. not only they accepted you as a guest, you will feel like you are a part of their family. in the morning they will give you a very delicious juice. it is a very good place to practice your Japanese skill if you are learning. and if not, you still can converse with them and even with other guest. I travel alone with a very basic Japanese skill, but I never felt lonely and never felt hard to communicate. the GenTomo house is a very comfortable place. they have every thing you need in daily life. and if not, all you need to do is stroll around the neighborhood. it is close to the station, and along the way, it has many stores. it is a very nice neighborhood. I often came back very late night, In fact I missed the last train once and had to go back on foot 9 Km from Nippori station in the middle of the night. still I felt very safe. (not recommended though. very very tiring). it is actually not quite near most Tokyo's tourist spot. the nearest would probably Tokyo sky tree. but it is very convenient. accessible to anywhere with just 1 or 2 transit. mostly just 30-45 minutes traveling by trains. the neighborhood is calm and the train is not crowded. after a very busy day in bustling Tokyo city, this place kinds of giving you a "came home" feeling. you should carefully read the house instruction and direction before you come though. the entrance are quite easy to miss. but then if you are in any trouble, the host will be delighted to help you. The rockbed are quite very nice actually. seems weird and funny at first with sleeping in the balcony. but then when you wake up in the morning you can feel the fresh air first. I went 8 days on September. there's a typhoon passing, it rains every day and once at night it is 16 Celsius (quite very cold for a tropical person like I am). but the rockbed is very warm and comfortable. on sunny day once about 22 Celsius at night, all I have to do is turn on the fan and it doesn't felt hot at all. I do must remind you that the rockbed aren't very long. I'm about 184cm and my head are on the very edge of the bed. overall, I'm very happy staying at GenTomo. I would definitely stay there again. try the RockBed if you are an adventurous person (and on very low budget), if not, try the other rooms. by the looks of it, It is very nice and comfortable room. the GenTomo house are exactly looks the way that I expected from Japanese house and Japanese family. A very great experience.

GenTomo is extremely kind, the ideal Japanese host you might expect to encounter. He is responsive to messages, after I arrived he is ready to explain everything kindly. I failed JLPT N3 test, but I have no problem using very simple Japanese with him as he can speak gently for the inexperienced. I often not very picky about a place to sleep. I have sleep at McDonald and Karaoke before just fine but still they lacked bath and difficult to lay down fully on my back. I liked capsule hotel's concept of small and sufficient, but in reality capsule hotel is not for simple traveler like me as many capsules are also luxurious. About this place, this is the most ideal place for me to stay yet. The bed rock looked kind of scary from Airbnb's screenshot (I have never seen one also) but actually it's so nice. The bed can heat up so you don't need any blanket, and I don't mind the hardness at all. I used my clothes and towel as a pillow, then it's perfect. Something also exceeded my expectation, as the place have excellent bath with bathtub as well. The towel is also provided to use and immediately dispose into the basket. Soap, shampoo all provided. I came back from my thing around midnight, I have no problem entering the house at all and the bath is perfect after all the traveling. I came back at midnight and go out in the morning so I did not use the WiFi that much, but for those who are concerned, the speed is quite good. I have no problem checking e-mails or some socials. In the morning, I have a chance to try GenTomo-san's mixed juice he made for the guests. I'm not expecting this hospitality, and it tastes very good. This sure left a good impression on me before going on an adventure in the morning. The station nearest to this place is quite far from central Tokyo however, but I can come back as late as leaving Tokyo at 22:00PM and arrive at the place before the train stop just fine. You have to walk a bit from the station to the place but around this station while kind of far from the capital, is well provided with many eating places like KFC, Yoshinoya, Tenya or ramen shops. (And also unexpectedly one Sega game center which I played some music games..) So in the morning, you can eat around here before going on your travel and in the late night you can eat before go to the place to sleep. For this price, all these I got are impressive. Recommended.

Thank you so much Gentomo-san for being a very good hosts, I got to experience the Japanese style of living a lot, it feels so authentic and real, not just friendly but really helpful to me too, the place was really clean and comfortable, exactly like how it was described. I love the rooftop so much! Looking forward to stay at Gentomo house again if I were to come again in the future! Zenbu arigatou gozaimasu!

Very nice and helpful owner

It was so good that you can have a 100% Japan-style experience. Before your arrival, the host would ask some information of yours. To be honest, I don't think all of them have to be told. But I understand it. This outside bed is really challenging especially in winter. Don't try it except you are strong as Bear Grills. Anyway, I asked to move to a inner room later and it was so nice. Gen Sann and Brendon, thanks a lot for your help and I was very happy to have a chat with you. And I wish that Brendon can find a good job! See you guys someday in the future!

Yuki's place was very clean, and the host is very accomodating. Will definitely recommend to my friends!

Amazing family. Beautiful home. Great host! Thank you!!

Yuki is very nice & helpful. She's a clean & very comfortable room. Her house is very unique & so recommended to stay :) we've a pleasant stay with them.

Yuki went for us to the metro station with his cute little boy, as the description, the house is very close to the station (3 min walk). The room was perfect, clean, confortable and private. Everything was new in the house, we like very much stay here. Highly recommended!

A nice place to stay , very clean with all facilities but a bit far from all main attractions in Tokyo. The family is very sweet . My first stop over in Japan and I've enjoyed it. Thanks to you.

這間的主人真的超親切!!會很主動聯繫、關心,甚至幫忙提行李,有什麼問題都可以用mail或是(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)問他(英文或日語溝通); 家裡裝潢很素雅乾淨,低調的高級感!有兩間浴室一間淋浴一間泡澡,最靠近這裡的JR站是船橋站,必須再換乘東武野田線坐到「柏」再搭一站到「豐四季」,出站之後直直走只須3分鐘,但因換車搭車需要時間,所以如果是想在東京首都圈玩幾天的話,來回會有點久,可以考量一下時間跟金錢的平衡~ 這次其中一天去海浜幕張,對我來說就很便利!整體感覺非常棒!

綺麗なお家

Location and environment is good and neat. We really like the house very much. Host is nice.

Absolutely amazing! Nomad picked me up from Matsudo train station and showed me how to get to apartment.. she also corresponded with me weeks in advance of my trip and sent me information that would help me in Japan. Also leaving loads of info on the table. AND FREE PORTABLE WIFI. The house is central to the train station. I landed at Narita and was planning on visiting Dinsneyland my first day in Japan and Matsudo is closer than Tokyo. It took me just under an hour to commute to Disneyland. The home is very clean with lots of ammenities (washing machine, clothes rack, stove, nice shower etc) I would 110% stay there again and if you plan on going to Disney I suggest you stay here to! I can not say enough good things about the service and location! THANK YOU NOMAD <3

Nomad's Place was modern and clean. I will defiantly stay again!!

Really nice place, perfect for two people with a comfy sofa bed. Obviously takes a little while to get into central Tokyo but there seemed like plenty of decent places to eat around Matsudo station. Would thoroughly recommend!

Great place to stay while exploring Tokyo; clean, easily accessible, and pretty much all you'd need for a short, or even longer stay.

Nomad's place was very nice. It was quite far from the subway but close to a JR. There were some nice shops nearby and the place was very livable.

For our last two days in Tokyo, we wanted an apartment from which we could travel to Disneyland Tokyo and Narita airport. Nomad's apartment was the perfect solution since it's close to Matsudo station. The apartment feels very spacious. It had the most room of any place we've stayed at in Tokyo. It is close to convenience stores and supermarkets, so food is always around the corner. Overall, our stay was very comfy. We could wash our clothes and make our own food. Thanks to this apartment our last days in Tokyo were a great succes.

A perfect holiday home with all essentials covered.

Communication was excellent. Hiro and Yasuko were prompt answering emails and provided very precise information The space is just right for the three of us (but we are small people). The place is clean. Water pressure is strong. The B&B is close to the train station which is just on train ride from Haneda. Hiro and Yasuko invited us for tea in their house. They are very nice and hospitable couple. Thank you very much Yasuko and Hiro. We will recommend your place to our friends who will visit Tokyo.

nice apartment. all fine

Yasuko and Hiro are the best Airbnb hosts I've ever had! It was such a pleasure staying in a Japanese neighborhood and they really made it feel like home. They made sure that the house has everything you need and more. It is surrounded by restaurants, Family Mart, laundry, pharmacy and bike rentals. It is a few minutes of walk from train station. Yasuko and Hiro is just a message away and their recommendations are valuable. We are sure to stay here again.

Hiro and Yasuko are wonderful hosts. Their apartment is small yet comfortable and clean. The apartment is very convenient to mass transit, although not late at night. The neighborhood is also very nice: it feels like a place where people actually live, and there are plenty of shops of all sorts around. We had breakfast with Hiro and Yasuko one morning and talking to them about life and our experiences in Tokyo was just lovely.

Our stay with Yasuko and Hiro was one of the most memorable parts of our trip, we couldn't have hoped for a better experience! The room was very nice and comfortable for the two of us. The location is nice, quiet and very close to the train station. We were able to spend one afternoon with Yasuko and Hiro, getting to know each other over some drinks. They are very Accommodating and super friendly, I would highly recommend staying here and would love to visit again next time!

Most impressed by the warm hospitality of the hosts. The small studio is very cosy, as seen in the photos. The walk from the station is easy, passing the supermarket and eateries along the way. I very much enjoyed the Japanese breakfast. The kimono experience shouldn't be missed too. Thank you Yasuko & Hiro for making the end of my stay in Tokyo so memorable.

The apartment was really cozy. Neighbourhood has lots of convenience stores and eateries close by. Hosts have been really really helpful, friendly, warm and hospitable. would stay again with them again :-)

Yasuko and Hiro are wonderful hosts. They really make time to know their guests and make them feel more at home :) The place is lovely, and the location and amenities are good value for money as well. The best part of the stay though are Yasuko and Hiro's warmth and hospitality. I highly recommend their place and would definitely want to go back there again!

Easy to walk from the train station. Nice suburban neighborhood with newish houses and a park. Building is new and my unit was very clean and comfortable. Great shower/bath. A bit tricky to find as it doesn't face the main road, so ask for detailed directions. Across the street from a fire station, but it was quiet when I stayed. Kitchenette with microwave, mini fridge, and one electric stop top burner. Japanese style bed. AC unit in bedroom. The host was very kind and responded quickly, and even came to find me when I couldn't find the address. Great value for the price! I'd stay here again. :)

there is no fridge so be sure to bring some snaks and some cup nodels you can heat some base curry or soupe boil eggs and small cooking

there is no detailed explanation how to go to house, so you have to go 出入口2 and then you can find rawson convenience. then perfect exit !! anyway everything was good. very quite and clean. and the host also kind good !

Place is very clean and affordable! About 10mins walk from station, but station is abit far from Tokyo station. Many facilities provided such as cooking station, heating etc. Would stay again!

The description was totally accurate. New house, clean and equipped with all basic things such as mini fridge, microwave, shampoo, etc. Location about 45 mins from Shinjuku. Got convenience store, 100Yen shop, coin laundry nearby this house. With that kind of price offered, totally value for money. Will stay again here next time.

すごく綺麗なお部屋で 駅も全然歩ける距離でした。 菅原さんもすごく親切な方でした。

とてもキレイに清掃されていました。徒歩圏内にコンビニがあります。丁寧に対応してくださりありがとうございました。

とても綺麗で良かったです

The apartment was really comfortable and neat, hosts were really kind and helpful. There were also useful information like attraction/visitor guides and bus timetables in the apartment. Location is far from the metro but really close to the bus stop, there's also a convenience store nearby. Had a pleasant stay at this place, thanks so much!

Equipped with all the basic things in the kitchen and bathroom and it was fine, albeit a host nerve neukkyeojyeoseo minutes. Heunhideul danisi Tokyo center and has a street, a piece that is slightly away from the hostel, even the subway station. Transportation brings out quite add up to Busby. But the degree of side bus is better able to walk around? Go around the house is incredibly quiet at night, no people in the dark street. If women alone might a little dangerous? I thought. Maybe ssissi TV also does not think well. But it wo also want a neighborhood that is applied so there is no crime. Amazingly, except this part it was good all the crabs. Do you still a good spacious room than you think. Even young children staying between couples or couples and friends that sounds good. If you have children you do not even know eusil aemeok move. No matter how you think haebwado eopneyo it takes. Ah ... if a little noisy one kind is that because the kids are playing in the park in front of a weekday afternoon, a weekend day? And the city of Tokyo will look much like you would like to feel in everyday opposite of Japanese residential area.

Stay at Kent & Nana's place was very pleasant. It was spacious, clean and felt cosy. Bus stop was only 2 mins away from the apartment so that was very convenient for us. Thank you for letting us stay at your apartment!

This is a cozy apartment with just everything needed. This is very thoughtful of Kent et al. to provide us with a mobile wifi router. The apartment itself is clean and neat. Kent et al. prepared a detailed packet with all the useful information, which is highly appreciated. We had an enjoyable week. This place is right next to a park, which is a plus for kids to play around.

My trip to Japan started with a 26 hour delay in Auckland. When I landed I didn't speak a word of Japanese, but thankfully had a detailed set of instructions, provided by Kent and family to take me where I needed to go. The house was very cozy and tidy. I loved it. I had a wonderful experience. Thank you so much.

I arrived in Kanamachi Station in the midnight, and took a cab to the apartment which costs around ¥1,200 due to the bus are not in service. The apartment was very nice, clean and its a traditional japanese house with tatami bed. I love it cause there's washing machine and balcony for you to hang your clothes. It's a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Host did provide a clear direction on how to take bus from the host home. Truly happy with my 8 days 7 nights stay there.

The place is spacious enough for a small family. Short walk to the bus stop and convenience store and a few places to get grub nearby. Caution: Remember that there is no elevator to go up the 3rd floor if you have lots of bags so keep that in mind. The rest is great!

It was a great time, great place & superb host provided by Mr Kent. We did really enjoy our vacation staying here. My husband also love so much the meal coupon which is short distance from the apartment. We also very satisfied with 5 star cleanliness.
