The mall, called Joyful Minowa, where Sato-san's rest is situated is a special place, very quiet, very authentic. Lot's of traditional shops, far from the touristic crowed districts, but close to the center of Tokyo. Only pedestrians and cyclists move in this covered street. The host team have lots of kindness and they helped us to translate when we went shopping in the mail. Their help was precious. Near the hotel, there's a little railways station around by cherry trees. Minowabashi is the terminal station of Toden Arakawa Line the last streetcar still in service in Tokyo. I recommend this hostel if you want to see a hidden face of Tokyo.
