Koichi was awesome beyond words. My first time in Japan, his place was, in my opinion in one of the better spots I couldve picked. close enough from the main places like Golden Gai, but far enough to have a quiet place to myself. Since it is on the 3rd floor, you will need to be quiet and make sure you are ready to climb some stairs, as there is no elevator. The room was solid, with a single bed, single stove, washer, balcony to hang clothes, just remember to take off your shoes. He offered to pick me up from the Shinjuku station and take me back after check out at odd hours. Anyone with that level of hospitality deserves more than what the world can offer.
