A cosy little place some distance from central Tokyo, but with all the comforts and amenities you need. Lots of shops, convenience stores and a few different options for laundry within walking distance, and an Onsen as well. The neighbourhood is safe, peaceful and clean. The host was very helpful, and was able to give some recommendations and assistance in English given my very limited Japanese. The only two real drawbacks are the really thin walls (you NEED to be quiet at night- your neighbours will hear everything) and the small size of the bathroom/shower. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the location, the price, the place itself and all of the help from the host, and would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Tokyo. For any solo travellers looking for a base a little further out from the noise of the big city, this is the place for you!
