Such a cool, modern space in the loveliest little neighbourhood you could imagine! A short walk from the Yamanote line, this apartment is so convenient and is cleverly designed, plus it has a fantastic balcony to start and end the day.
We found two downsides: There’s a musty smell in the room that can be off-putting. And the futons are THIN. I’ve travelled in Japan extensively and this futon seemed less comfortable than usual. However when we reached out to the host they were quick to respond and very helpful. I would say that if you have a bad back or are a fussy sleeper, you might want to consider their other apartment with a real bed. Otherwise, we couldn’t have been for pleased with this place!
For dinner, follow your nose down the street to a delicious yakitori joint called Kemuri-san. In the morning, on the way to Komagome station there’s a lovely bakery that offers great free coffee!
