I felt like home :)

First of all, many big thanks to Taturo, he is a very kind, reliable person and a great host. I have great respect in his efforts, because of his self-made tutorials like how to get from which Airport to his place, or what kind of shops are nearby. On our arrival he greeted us so nicely and informed us about current events that might be interesting for us. His appartment is exaclty like in the description. It has all that we needed, a space to sleep, a little kitchen, and a bathroom with a toilet. He also provided us with towels, soap, shampoo, toilet papers, hair dryer. Internet and TV was also available! You can use the laundry facilities within the building (in his detailed handbook is a description how to use the washing machine). 24h convenient stores like Familymart and 7/11 are close-by. 7/11 is very useful if you want to withdraw money with your debitcard at their ATM. The neighborhood is so quiet and friendly. Fujimidai Station is very close like 3 min. by foot and from there you can take the local train straight to Ikebukuro Station. Give yourself at least one day to explore Ikebukuro, because of the many stores and the malls like sun shine city - Taturo provided us with a guide book for Ikebukuro. We also rented his Pocket Wifi which helped us moving easily within the city by foot using google maps. I really recommend to hike from Fujimidai Station to Ikebukuro Station, in order to enjoy the surrounding, the buildings, the little shops, the narrow alleys - they are worth exploring. I highly recommend staying at Taturo's apartment!!! You feel like never leaving this place ;) Oh by the way, try the bakery store at Fujimidai Station, I love the japanese curry buns (Kare Pan).
