We already knew we loved the Omotesando back streets which are quietly cool and lively in a most un-touristy way but staying in this place really gave us a feeling of what it might be like to live like a local. The location is so perfect and as a family, we appreciated the generous space that allowed us to relax after long days of walking. The bedrooms and living areas are very big for Tokyo and the chance to Netflix on tired afternoons was much appreciated.
There is an incredible balcony with the city laid out around you. It was very special to be able to stand there on NYE at Midnight despite the fact that there were no fireworks to be seen.
The area is busy though and so get in early to line up at local restaurants (unavoidable). Or stock up (if you can find an elusive supermarket) and use the kitchen for a home-made meal. There’s a convenience store 50m from the front door.
Kotaro’s place and his readiness to help made our week in Tokyo just perfect.
