This was our first time having a vacation in Japan to celebrate our 2nd year wedding anniversary. We chose Han’s place for second half our two week trip and we wanted a place a little away from the hustle and bustle. The place is 5-10 minute walk from the nearest station, which is Otsuka Station. You are about 20-45 minute train ride away from the busiest areas such as Shibuya or Akihabara so you are not far away, just don’t go during rush hour, it is pretty hectic. Good thing about the apartment is that there are good places to eat around the area and you have 7-11 and Family Mart close by if you need to pick some foods or drinks.
Han was a very good host, addressing any questions or concerns. Han is very quick to respond. He made sure we are comfortable as possible. He sent an easy to read house guide which gave us easy to follow directions to the apartment, directions on how to use the appliances, such as the air condition and washer machine. So definitely, you won’t be alone. He is just a Airbnb email away if you need anything.
The apartment is definitely in a quieter neighborhood so it’s was nice and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle. Checking in was easy to do. Be sure to let Han know ahead of time of your estimated arrival so either him or a coworker will meet you in person to give you the keys to the apartment. The apartment is a good size that can easily fit two people. It is very clean, had all the amenities we needed to make us feel like at home, minus a tv which we don’t mind. We don’t have any complaints.
We definitely recommend going to Han’s place if you are up to staying in a quiet neighbor with most of the amenities you need and are willing to go the 30+ minute train ride to the popular cities in Tokyo.
