Chie’s house was the first place we stayed when arriving in Tokyo and to say it was fantastic is an understatement! It is about 20-30 minutes from Tokyo Station by car, or just a few easy stops on the train! Itabashi station is about 10 minutes walk away, which was extremely convenient for getting to and from tours and shopping. There’s also grocery stores nearby which is great when wanting to eat cheaply at home. The house is small, but perfect for my mother and I. The stairs are very steep, so we could not bring our suitcases upstairs, but it was fine to leave them downstairs. Chie was extremely helpful during our stay, and replied super fast to any questions we had! I would highly recommend Chie’s place if you’re looking for a quiet, authentic Japanese suburban experience, but also the ability to easily get to the bustling city. Thanks so much again Chie!
