Tomo's place is around 10 minutes by walk from the station. He met us at the station when we arrived and gave us simple and clear instructions in finding our way around the neighbourhood to his home. Basic amenities such as conveniences stores and food outlets surround the station and travelling into the city area isn't really necessary if you want to get dinner. Tomo and his wife were extremely hospitable and they would also provide some suggestions to help us get around the places we wanted to go easier. Tomo's wife is a brilliant painter and cook too. Getting to the airport or to the city in Tokyo is easy from Tomo's apartment using the Keio line and I have to say that we've had a fantastic time staying here!
