Glad we chose to stay at Koichi’s place. Enough room for our family of 5, it was convenient and walking distance to the train station, food, busy shops and Gyoen National park yet in a quiet residential area. There was a great bakery directly downstairs which we managed to try. The large grocery store, Maruetsu, behind Koichi’s which sells drinks, snack and premade meals was handy. The business offices next to Maruetsu had nice restaurants. The portable WiFi which Koichi provided was very useful for taking on our trips to use for navigation. Koichi provided umbrellas, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, towels, etc and bottled water. Koichi provided useful pictures and instructions on all the appliances so it was easy. Koichi welcomed us on our first night with gifts and offered to pickup and dropoff at Shinjuku Station because of our luggage. This was a good choice for us while we were in Shinjuku. Thanks Koichi & Tamotsu for your hospitality, generosity and kindness!
