I had a wonderful stay at Hisako’s apartment in Asagaya.
Hisako is an attentive and welcoming host who offered to pick me up from the station and helped me out a lot during my stay.
Hisako’s apartment is a considered and beautifully designed space. Her cats Kitty and Maru are adorable and friendly - interacting with them definitely a highlight.
The place was tucked away in a beautiful residential neighbourhood that is ideal for those who seek to stay away from the noise and crowd of the city while still within walking distance to major attractions such as Koenji and Ogikubo.
I highly recommend it.
