I don't want to sound like a commercial, but if you want to stay in a great location for exploring Tokyo, this is the spot for you. It's situated just west of Tokyo proper, is perfect for taking a short train ride to Shinjuku, or exploring a little farther to Tachikawa. If you like to eat and have, fun this college town will ignite your inner young adult self, and offer a plethora of food and drink options that you cannot possibly fathom. We ate Shabu Shabu in Shabuya, the best Ramen in Shinjuku, Ichiran. Sushi at a multitude of establishments but the best for your money we found was in Akiahabara. A short walk from the station and under the bridge. Amazing!!
Gris is an excellent host. He responded quickly to all of my messages and was very helpful in his response. I highly recommend staying in with Gris at his place if you want little to worry about and feel like you have all the comforts of being at home.
