Shota and Sachiko were beautiful people. We stayed there for 5 nights and we loved staying in Ikebukuro. Away from the busy life of the city while not being too far. The street that the Airbnb is on is absolutely gorgeous, quaint and quiet. The cute lamps down the street at night are beautiful and the udon noodle bar right outside Shiinamachi station is amazing for a quick cheap dinner if you’re on the run. The showers and bathroom were incredibly clean though the shower is 24/7 so maybe keep in mind about the free ear plugs at the front desk if your room is next door. The tatami room we stayed in was incredibly cute and quaint.
All up the entire place was stunning and I would recommend this to anyone wanting to experience the ‘real japan’.
We hope to come back one day
Thank you Shota and Sachiko!
