Loved the Koenji neighborhood. It was great to go back to Koenji after a long day of walking around the “tourist” spots of Tokyo. Koenji has more of a neighborhood vibe and the main street leading up to the place has a traditional Japanese feel to it. Super convenient location with great places to eat and shop at.
Grapehouse is super clean and there is a small common area where ladies can just hangout and chat about the day. Traveled with my mom here who is in her late 60s but she felt just as welcomed/comfortable as the younger travelers did. :)
