Mitsuru-san’s lovely Vacation Inn apartment was honestly a perfect Tokyo stay from beginning to end.
The apartment itself is literally a 5 minute walk from the Heiwajima train station, easy to find for anyone new to Tokyo. This also means you are close to everything you need from supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies and coffee shops.
Once you arrive, this is where the fun begins! Every step of the process from check-in to the stay itself and check-out has been carefully thought through. It’s super easy to do all three without the need of keys or waiting for a host or dealing with security. I have to admit, his system should be a model for all would-be-hosts to follow! After a long 16 hour flight, an easy check-in was such a wonderful thing to experience.
The apartment itself was brand spanking new. I was lucky enough to be the first person to stay so everything was straight out of the packaging! Every single amenity I needed was offered so you can live comfortably upon arrival. There was no need to go out to the shops to get something he might of forgotten, Mitsuru-san had every angle covered, he is a pro!
Another point to mention about this new apartment, the bathroom and shower is state-of-the-art! A proper cutting edge Japanese bathroom that I love so much.
I have been to many apartments in Tokyo and Mitsuru-san’s Vacation Inn is one I consider to be the very best. Anyone reading this review, you can honestly count on this being a perfect, trouble-free stay!
