Yuka’s place is a great alternative to staying in a hotel. There’s laundry right in the room and a little kitchen if you need to heat up some food or make a quick bite. The apartment is a 2 min walk to the Kanamecho station and an easy 12 walk to the Ikebukuro station. Lots to eat and see around Ikebukuro. And because the apartment is in a residential area, it’s quieter and less hustle and bustle.
