Our stay was fantastic for so many reasons! Upon our arrival to Koenji station, we were warmly received by a friend of the host, Ms Aiko-san, who brought us to our apartment. It was a cosy little apartment and returning to it after a long day of shenanigans in Tokyo felt like we were returning home. Aiko gave us so many tips about the area and helped us with so many of our questions. During our stay, Typhoon Hagibis hit Japan and Aiko showed so much concern and care and warmth to us, it felt like we were part of her family. Koenji neighbourhood is also fantastic. We will be back :)
