Ryota’s studio was very clean indeed. A well furnished petit studio with a finely tuned yamaha c2x grand piano. The studio soundproofing is exceptionally well which means you could play around with your only piano 24/7.
Location wise, it’s pretty close to Ikebukuro station, an approx 10-15mins walk, a quiet neighborhood nearby while restaurants and daily necessities could be found near the station.
Definitely recommend to solo travelers and musician travelers. The only thing to aware is that the studio is accessible only by staircase, for those who are carrying bulky suitcase might require a bit exercise.
Unfortunately couldn’t meet Ryota in person this time but he did everything he could for a smooth check in, guidelines were very clear and communicate was easy. Thanks for everything Ryota.
