Great location! Easy access to Haneda Airport UNLESS you arrive past 10pm. The Haneda airport to town metro lines dont’t operate past ten to this location. We got two cabs as we are a family of five and the cost was 22000 yen each can.
The location is quiet which is a nice respite from the city after a busy day. There is a great neighborhood ramen place called premium ramen. Check it out.
We were able to access many parts of Tokyo easily but it does take time because the metro system is very confusing and operated by multiple companies.
The apartment consists of one bedroom and a living room where theee of us slept on mattresses on the tatami. The bathroom is equipped with a deep bathtub and the shower is powerful.
There is a washer and dryer machine, a little fridge and a stove top. We did not cook while here. Here are several supermarkets in the area and you can stock up on supplies.
Our host was very quick to answer our questions. We really appreciate that. It’s challenging when you have a family of five and Tokyo is not inexpensive. We really appreciated our stay on Daigo’s place.
Note that the sun comes up early (in May around 4am). This does not bother me as I am an early riser but if it bothers you just use the curtains. We were unable to get thenportable WiFi to work but there are plenty of shops you can stop at to use their free WiFi. Metro also has free WiFi. So it wasn’t a terrible thing.
The fun thing about being close to the Sky tree is you can use it as a reference point when you are out and about Tokyo.
When you do use the metro and get out of skytree station make note of the precise exit close to the apartment. There are at least five exits.
Leaving the apartment during the day we caught the express to the airport and it was just one train. Super simple and inexpensive.
Thanks again Daigo for being a super host!
