I would recommend the host to have a detail direction explain of how to get to his house. It is 15 minutes walk from the JR train station. It was not my issue but for some guests 15 minutes walk might be too far for them. I personally enjoy my walk back and forth to his house everyday since his house is located on a very lovely street, you can enjoy the shops and the restaurants in the area. After making a connection at the Subway station Shinjuku it will take only 2 stops to get to Nakano and you will never have to wait longer than 5 minutes for each train to arrive. I would definitely recommend to stay here because of the location is nice, the host is wonderful, and the place is clean. The only one surprise that I have is the staircases is very narrow, I guess this is very typical in Japan. I guarantee you won't regret choosing this place. Mr. Sunnymoe is very helpful host and kind. I will be back if I ever go to Tokyo again.
