Spacious and light filled house in a very quiet neighborhood within walking distance to JR Ikebukuro Station. Narita Express and major train lines connect at Ikebukuro so this makes the location very convenient, along with the fact that it's on the Yamanote Line. Walk distance to station is appx 15 minutes. Fall weather was beautiful and it was awesome that ALL of the windows opened to let in the fresh air and the comfortable beds and quiet neighborhood allowed us some really quality sleep. The man who owns the rice shop next door hands out candy to the neighbor kids who walk by with their Moms and the Izakaya down the street seats about 4 people MAX but always looks and smells inviting. If you look up to the sky in front of the house, you'll see the smokestack for the neighborhood public bath house. We found Jojo to be a very kind, sincere and sweet host and it was a pleasure corresponding with her.
