Outstanding Family Accommodation in Tokyo
What a fantastic family hotel! I say hotel a little loosely, because it is really a family house that you can rent for a night or several.
Watanabe-san may be the most hospitable person we have crossed on this planet. Not only did he open the door while we were getting organized outside his establishment, but he did not panic or get upset when our littlest (6 years) immediately stepped with shoes on the internal floor.
After showing us the wonderful accommodation, he asked if we were wanting to eat, knowing we had just completed a trans-Pacific flight. We were thinking this hospitality would translate into a recommendation or two for the local area. But no - he actually went to the restaurant with us to translate the menu and order for us. After declining our offer to eat with us, he departed, only to return 15 mins later to make sure everything was to our liking and to ensure we did not need further assistance. He was then waiting for us upon our return to go over breakfast and any further needs we might have before retiring for the night.
Watanabe-san was their as agreed for check-out. But this wasn't just a business transaction - he was their with multiple pages of information on sights to see and foreigner-friendly restaurants at our next destination!
I know from multiple trips to Japan how accommodating the Japanese people are. But Watanabe-san is an exception and someone with whom you will want to host you.
Sumimasen Watanabe-san!!
