We stayed in Junko’s apartment for the entire month of November. It’s conveniently situated just off of one of the main shopping/restaurant streets in the bohemian shabby-chic Koenji neighborhood and is a great base for exploring Tokyo. It’s a quick walk to the train station and there are several well-stocked supermarkets nearby, plus a 24-hour convenience store is just steps away. The apartment is small but complete with a one-burner stove, a microwave, fridge, washing machine and TV. It has two very comfortable single beds and a small sofa bed. Junko kindly brought over an oven toaster as well. Junko also helped me with my airport-to-residence luggage delivery service. A great bonus is the portable wifi unit that comes with the apartment that will give you connectivity wherever you go. One thing that took a bit of getting used to was changing the filters in the kitchen sink and bathroom/toilet.
We enjoyed our month and appreciated Junko’s hospitality.
