Masami-san's place is just the right combination of quiet and convenience. The train station, convenient stores, restaurants, pharmacy, bars, and other shops are close enough to walk to. She is a very accomodating host and a lot of thoughtfulness went in to the arrangement of the place. It's a quick shot to places like Harajuku, Shibuya, and Shinjuku. It took us 15 minutes to reach Chidorigafuchi in the spring so we were able to beat the large crowds and take plenty of photos.
