“True traditional Japanese house, just like what you see in anime!”
+The host is super lovely! I texted about some issues with the curtains in one of the divisions and she went over the very minute. She wasn't able to fix it then, but she returned the following day to do so. Very nice lady. I loved the sleeping arrangements! Not everyone in my group was a fan of the futon and tatami vibes, but if that's not a problem for you, you will enjoy this. If you are sensitive to smells, bear in mind the house smells like straw/something similar to that. I don't know if this is from the futons or the tatami floor. I liked it, but everyone else in my group disliked it. Loved that the shower and toilet are not together, so a group can definitely use both at the same time.
−The toilet was in the tiniest division possible - taller people will likely not be able to close the door without hitting their knees. Personally it was not a problem, but I think this is useful info for other people. The stairs are indeed very steep and tiny to get to the bedrooms upstairs - if you have bad knees I would advise against this property.

+The traditional look of the rooms, which gives you the feeling like living like a local. Everything was according as described.
−Nothing bad to say

“Exceptional”
+Since it is a full house, you have plenty of space for each member of the group and you have all the amenities needed for your stay. It's just like in the photos.☺

“Overall ok. 10’mins walk to Otsuka station (JY line) and 20 mins walk to Shin-Otsuka station (Metro)”
+Nothing specific but simple and practical
−The main door key unremovable from the PIN lockable box. Those who knows the PIN can open the lockable box to enter the house especially when no one inside the house. The ELCB trips every night.

“Very good”
+It was a traditional Japanese house with tatami, making it a great choice for those looking for something unique beyond typical hotels. The three-room house is situated in a quiet area near Otsuka Station, with plenty of small restaurants and shops nearby.
−We stayed in February, and the house was quite chilly in the mornings. However, the air conditioning helped keep the space warm.

“Nice small house in quite residential neighborhood”
+Great location about 10 or 15 minutes walk from a station on the yamanote line. We really liked the vibe of the neighborhood with delicious southeast asian restaurants. One stop away from Ikebukuro. The house itself was very cute, and I enjoyed sleeping on futon and tatami very much.
−The shower was a little old, but perfectly functional. The water drained very slowly in the shower. The stairs were quite steep. There was only one toilet so there were times where people had to wait.
