We had a great time staying at Kaen's place! It was incredibly close to the Okubo station which made day travel and sight seeing very accessible. You could also just wander along the city streets nearby and find delicious food! We found our favorite cafe spot with delicious parfaits and coffee as well as our favorite lunch place that served cerashi bowls (rice bed + sashimi) within 5-10min walking distance of Kaen's place. Would definitely recommend!
