Stayed here 7 days. Newly built house with modern amenities. I normally used the Ikebukuro Station. As a major metro station it has an approximate 55 exits, a 17 minutes average walk. Using this station, find Exit C6, at street level turn left & go straight ahead towards Denny’s Café/Restaurant as a landmark, walking is safe at night. Enjoy the neighborhood charm - don’t forget to visit Myonichikan House- one of several houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Tokyo & even do your work-out at Ikebukuro Sport Center, 7 minute walk - swim at the 11th floor. Lots of convenient stores and big mart too.
Jason is a cool host and respect your privacy. It is a gem to find his place. A westerner who adapted the Japanese culture. The place is highly recommended for those who wants to observe the Japanese community typical life style.
