This is a good place to stay if you have time to spend in the Tokyo area. It isn't in the heart of central Tokyo and that can be a blessing as it is more livable. Work out the public transport routes before you arrive so you can make the most of your trip - once we did we realised the bus stop was only a minute or so from the house, the train had a rapid express option from Tokyo station and nearby Tama Center where the monorail begins is really a vibrant hub.
