this is my first time in Japan. luckily, I found this neat house in Tokyo, Japan. this Vacation house is a real house, which has everything inside. the location is great, 10 minutes walk from train station, which is very important for a group people without a car in Tokyo. the host , Ashley and her husband , are very nice people, they explain everything to us and prepared everything we may need in the stay. When I left the house, I forgot my glasses, the host picked up my glasses and shipped to me, which is a life saving for me. I did have a super good experience in this stay. I would highly recommend this vacation house.
