I have now been to Tokyo 4 times. This trip I stayed in Asagaya at Kimmy and Dee’s place for 2 months. I stayed in both of their units. Bottom and top floor. Bottom floor is a little bit smaller but I love both. But if you’d like a bit more space if the 3F unit is available get it!
Neighborhood wise Asagaya is awesome. I personally don’t like to hang around tourist heavy areas. Asagaya is a dope little neighborhood with art galleries and amazon restaurants and some good shopping spots. I’m not a drinker but there’s a ton of awesome bars.
The train station is a chill little 5-10
min walk. Depending on how fast you’re moving. I personally love stay in a place that is off the Chuo Sobu Line
because if you get tired of hitting up the popular city spots you can take the chuo line to mitaka and catch the Ome line to Okutama area and get all inside the nature of japan!
I would love to own a house in Asagaya. Trust your boy Dustin and stay here for your trip!
