It was a great experience for us all to “live” like a local :) 12 years ago when Shawn & I visited Japan the first time we stayed in hotels, this time we take the kids here and stay in a local resident.
Yumiko’s place is a small two beds one bath apartment but has everything we need and in a good order. Yumiko waited to greet us on our arrival day and explained everything to us clearly. She provided us with a portable WiFi device so that we can go online wherever we go in Tokyo which is extremely convenient!
Location wise, we walk (with kids) 8-10mins from Yumi’s place to Itabashi train station. Along the way there are many eating places and convenient stores. Transport by train is extremely convenient.
Yumiko responded to us promptly every time I asked her questions. Thank you for being a great host!
Best wishes,
Audrey & family
