We very much enjoyed our stay at Masakatsu's apartment. It has plenty of space, which is a luxury in Tokyo and is well set up with useful appliances and utensils. It is nicely decorated and there are all sorts of charming bits and pieces to be found in the cupboards. While Funabori is quite a distance from the centre of Tokyo, it is only a 6 minute walk away from the subway station on a line that goes straight to Shinjuku. Funabori is a great area to stay in with a lively town centre. There are often activities going on around the station like the local market, music performances etc. The street immediately around the apartment has it's own restaurants, a laundromat and of course the onsen. Masakatsu provides excellent information about all of these. Masakatsu is a friendly and helpful host.
