The location: The home is off Shin-Okubo on the Yamanote Line. It’s a short walk from this station and only a two minute ride from Shinjuku Station but honestly, you could walk there too. It’s a central location. You can get to most places of interest without transferring. The area is lively even at night but the home is tucked into a residential street making it quiet and peaceful. There is plenty to do here at night which is an added benefit since most things close early everywhere else in Tokyo.
The home: Ichiro-san keeps a very clean space. It’s spotless. The bed and pillows are comfortable, the bathroom is clean and spacious. It is perfect for a couple or one person. It was the perfect place to relax in after a long day of sightseeing.
The host: He’s the best. He responds quickly, provides all necessary information, and he’s polite and friendly. When my airline changed my flight, Ichiro-san was flexible and let me adjust my dates. He went out of his way to make sure I had a wonderful experience.
When I return to Tokyo, I will be staying here again. 10/10.
