This apartment was good for a 2 night visit during our 12 day visit to Japan. If you have JR Rail Passes, the nearest train stations are Meguro or Gotanda stations on the Yamanote line. Meguro is uphill from the apartment. We had luggage for 4 people so we opted to use taxis when checking in and checking out from the apartment. This made it easy for us. Otherwise, during sight seeing, walking to the JR stations is ok. There is also a subway station closer by; but since we were using the JR Rail Pass we opted to walk to the JR stations. There are many convenience stores in close proximity to the apartment, and quite a bit of shopping for other things close to Meguro Station. Also, lots of restaurants close by or take a short train ride to other locations such as Shibuya and Shinjuku. We enjoyed staying in this area.
