Tatsuro is a great host. He's very friendly and eager to help whenever you need any assistance or information about Tokyo. He knows where to go to get great food! Mostly, though, he'll leave you be and let you enjoy your stay.

The area around the apartment is lovely. Despite being in Tokyo, it's relatively quiet and calm. Never once did we feel unsafe in the area. Walk two minutes in one direction and you'll be at the wonderful Fujimidai Station: your home base. Here you'll find a grocery store, a few 24-hour convenience stores, a few small eateries and some fun shops. Walk five minutes in the other direction and you'll find Nakamurabashi Station, another great place with plenty of food and fun to be had.

For about 210 yen you can get from Fujimidai to Ikebukuro Station, one of Tokyo's biggest transportation hubs. The trip is easy and the trains are frequent. You can either stay in Ikebukuro and have lots of fun browsing shops, going to the Sunshine City Pokemon Center, or you can continue on to just about any destination in Tokyo from the bustling Shinjuku to the bright lights of nighttime Akihabara.

And when you're done with your day of adventure -- exhausted and ready for a rest -- you'll be happy to step off the train into your familiar new home for some quiet and relaxation at Fujimidai. We look forward to staying again!
