Norimasa is a kind and wonderful host. He really went out of his way to make sure that my family and I were comfortable and had everything we needed. A true gentleman, probably the most hospitable host we have every stayed with.
The place is very well located in the really interesting and vibrant neighbourhood of Nakano with many restaurants, cosy bars and shops nearby. We found the room well insulated and didn't have any problem with noise from the bars, in fact the gentle hubbub from the street was much preferable to the usual traffic noise. The area is almost entirely pedestrian arcades and great for wandering. Nakano is also very well located for getting around the rest of Tokyo - only one stop to Shinjuku.
