Never having been to Tokyo, I was nervous about how easy it would be to actually get from this place to Shinjuku and the rest of the city. As it turns out, it was even easier than I’d hoped! It really is one four minute stop on the Chuo Rapid Line, which has frequent service, and from there it’s an extremely easy transfer to the Yamanote Line, which services a lot of major destinations around the city. Plus since both are Japan Rail lines, if you have a JR Pass they’re free - we spent almost nothing on transit our whole time in the city. The neighborhood around Nakano Station is vibrant and beautiful, with a lot of great restaurants and shops. The apartment itself is less than a 10 minute walk from the station, with plenty of Family Marts in between - we just loaded up on onigiri and Coffee Boss every day on our way home so we were set for breakfast when we woke up. The place was just what we needed - clean and cozy, with a comfortable bed and laundry machine in a quiet neighborhood. This turned out to be an amazing value for a couple that wanted to explore the city!
