Ohkubo was a fantastic host, whose quick replies and extra help with directions made our trip to Tokyo so much easier! We were nervous about trying to lug two large suitcases plus snowboards onto the train at Shinjuku station, so Ohkubo put together directions to walk from our drop off at Shinjuku West -
even with all that luggage, it only took us about 15 minutes! We then walked back on the morning of our departure to take the Airport Limousine bus to the airport - no battling morning commuters on the trains required! The apartment is otherwise exceptionally close to two train stations (think 2 minute walk), with lines that will get you to anywhere you need to go in Tokyo.
The apartment was clean and cosy, and we loved staying in an apartment that felt like a real Japanese home. Access to the apartment was very simple, and we were provided with an information document with all we needed to know about the accommodation beforehand.
Ohkubo also left us some Japanese souvenirs as gifts, which was a really nice touch. We will definitely stay with here again next time we visit Tokyo! So much better than our previous Tokyo hotel experiences.
