One Village 四木 (One Village YOTSUGI)

I really enjoyed this place. It’s located in a working class neighborhood of Tokyo, northeast of the Tokyo Sky Tree (A19/20 on the Toei Asakusa Metro line). Once we figured out the Toei Asakusa became the Kieki-Ku line, it wasn’t much work to get there. I enjoyed the ambiance of the neighborhood being very uniquely Japanese. The house is large for Tokyo standards and split into 3 levels - bottom small foyer and laundry, 2’d floor was living room and kitchen, and top floor was sleeping quarters with 4 beds stacked like a Japanese tatami situation & small bathroom in the corner. It worked charmingly for our family of four with 2 adults and 2 tweens. It was especially fortuitous to have laundry in the Tokyo summer, when you’re out walking/shopping/eating all-day. We would 100% recommend staying here, when in Tokyo. I loved getting up early and running along the river and across the many bridges & crossings. The restaurants are local and homey, and the people couldn’t be more friendly. It’s a house, not a hotel so set your expectations. If you require room turnovers or removal of trash, you need to do it yourself. However, I felt really close to living like a Tokyo family and this place really hit the spot for us.
