This was my third time in Japan and my third time staying with Emi. that should say it all. She very graciously let me check in early, and when I got to the station with no taxis she came and picked me up. she responds quickly, is very accommodating. The flat is clean and quiet. if you’re over 5’10 you may have to spare a thought about the doorways. I may have smacked my head once or twice. if you need to be away from the mayhem of tokyo and with a quality host, you can’t go wrong than staying with Emi.
