It’s our first time in Japan and before our actual flight and bookings I got lot of questions from where to head from airport, food to eat, places to visit, transportation and all. Shuya is forbearance giving me information that I needed and always gracious. It is much appreciated that the host take time to picked us up from tokyo station so that we can easily find their place. (Depends on host availability)
About the shared accomodation, you got all the basic things needed and almost new which is a plus. All is sparkling clean and when I say CLEAN you can give 5 star, every where you go smell/feel fresh. Toilet/bathroom is well maintained and equipped with hot tub (very relaxing) and heated toilet seat(well suited during cold weather). Bedroom wise is cozy, you wouldn’t want to get out of bed as it will make you feel snug all the time.
Location wise, from Shuya/Saki place it is 3-4mins bus ride to Kokubunji station and 30mins train travel to Shinjuku using Chuo line where you could start your touring experience. Instructions will be well provided and Shuya is always attune to all our questions and request with his outmost ability.
Overall, IT IS A GEM. You will not feel deluded because the photo they post say it all. It exceeded our expectations. Staying in Kokubunji is all worth it. Most complaisant and benevolent host. Next time we visit tokyo I would definitely book here again and even recommend their place.
