Kainoa Guesthouse

Firstly, a huge thanks to Nick and Yuko for the wonderful accommodation.
Though we did not meet the hosts, there was constant and extremely clear communication throughout our stay. We managed to find the place easily with the clear directions provided by the hosts, and we were also able to check-in into the room quite easily. Having landed very late in the night, and considering we had a 12-year old and it was our first time in Japan, this was the part that we were most worried about - but again, thanks to Yuko and Nick, this turned out to be a piece of cake
The room was clean. The beds were neat and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and clean with sufficient towels and toiletries as well
We had a complementary cleaning done for our room since we stayed for a week. This happened during the middle of our stay and, to be honest, we were pleasantly surprised by the offer and are extremely thankful as well
The train stop was just a 5 min walk and Otsuka station was just a 10 min walk. Made it very convenient for travel
Convenience stores were nearby and it helped to stock up on water and snacks. There were a couple of nice restaurants nearby as well - just a 5 min walk away. More options were available near Otsuka station (including McDonalds) and hence this made it very convenient as well
Coin laundry facilities were close by too

A unique thing that I found was that the hosts had kept a stock of essentials in the lobby - including water, snacks and laundry detergent. You just had to pickup whatever you needed, and then drop the money to "pikachu" (which was the coin box)! This is a wonderful initiative and is extremely helpful for new travellers like me who landed so late in the night.

Overall it was a fabulous experience and they absolutely lived up to the wonderful feedback and reviews that are posted on this platform. Thanks once again Yuko and Nick, and if we come back to Tokyo, its an absolute no-brainer as to where we were going to stay!

Clean, quiet, and spacious rooms with gigantic comfortable beds. The owners are able to speak English and are very accommodating if you need help. This place is on par with hotels that cost 2x as much!
