This humble abode was the perfect place to settle in for four short days in Tokyo--my first time back after having lived there for two years in the 80's. Close to the Kichijoji and Inokashira Stations (20 minute walks or so), and the beautiful and peaceful Inokashira Koen (park), you are at once connected to and removed from the bustle of Tokyo. I loved being in a more traditional apartment with futon and tatami mats, and a simple kitchen arrangement. The shower Sohei has set up worked just fine for me, but I can imagine others might balk at the fact that it is makeshift and outside the apartment. Nothing fancy here, but convenient, clean and comfortable, in a fantastic location. Be sure to visit Toho bakery and the shopping mall right at Kichijoji Station (ARTRE) for delicious treats. I never got to meet Sohei, but he was always super responsive when I had any questions. Enjoy!
