Ichiko’s place was the perfect home base for my visit. My daughter is studying at Waseda so the apartment was chosen for its proximity to campus. My daughter stayed with me during my stay and walked to school everyday she had class. The area is quiet and a bus and tram stop within minutes from the property. From there you can get anywhere in Tokyo easily. There’s a supermarket and drugstore a minute away do it was super convenient. Check in and check out was easy. It’s very quiet at night and we rarely heard or saw any neighbors. Takadanobaba is a 10 minute walk where there are a bunch of restaurants etc.
