Chieko was so available and considerate throughout the trip, walking us to the apartment when we arrived, even though it was late into the evening. Although a little far from the larger city areas, we really enjoyed the surrounding neighborhood, which was a lovely and peaceful area with small restaurants and shops. There is a convenience store and laundromat a minute away, and the subway station is a 5-10 minute enjoyable walk. We really enjoyed our stay in Tokyo and loved staying in your neighborhood! Only heads up is you can really hear the cars going by the house, so if you’re a light sleeper, you might have to wear earplugs (provided by Chieko!) like I did.
