Highly recommend for tourists wanting to spend lots of time in West-Tōkyo (Shinjuku city) or for longer term stays!
Hōnan made for a great home for two weeks in Tōkyo. Shigeru’s place is in a beautiful quiet patch of Hōnan - 5 minutes from Hōnan-Cho station, you’ll be surrounded by great restaurants, parks, and every kind of store you could need.
It’s at the end of the Marunouchi B line, so you’re guaranteed a seat on an early morning commute! Great for west Tōkyo tourism too, as you’re a short train ride from Shinjuku. In the event you miss the last train or want to stay out late, it’s a 10 minute, ¥2400 yen taxi from Shinjuku(cheap!).
Shigeru-san is a great host and was massively helpful to me when I needed to organise some important mail to be delivered. I hope you enjoy hosting tourists again now that Japan has opened up!
