I have stayed at some nice AirBNB’s is Japan, but this place is far and above the best! The room was almost intimidatingly clean; it really seemed like I was the first person who had ever stayed there! The tatami were fresh and green, and the bathroom was spotless. Nori-san himself was the perfect host! Attentive, but never intrusive, and the fact that he managed to understand my terrible Japanese qualifies him for sainthood in my opinion! There are so many good restaurants and bars and shops just right outside the door of Nori-san’s place, it literally could not be more convenient.
Seriously, I cannot recommend this place enough if you are staying in the Nakano area. The price cannot be beat for the location.
