Yutaka’s place is modern, clean, and well taken care of. It has a unique layout with touches that go well beyond the usual thoughtless Airbnb. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet, which was nice to return to after the more bustling parts of Tokyo. It’s one of the less interesting parts of Tokyo but a relief to be away from the tourists: You get a good feeling of typical life in Tokyo. The train station is an easy 10 minute walk through a quiet shopping street, and one can easily access major destinations in Tokyo via the Yamanote line. The Zens folks who help manage the property are incredibly helpful and responsive. I appreciate that Yutaka’s place is officially registered as a ryokan (hotel), and it is professionally managed as such.
