My trip to Japan was beyond an amazing experience and I have Shino to thank for this. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting her but her allowing myself and my friend to stay in her apartment was a true godsend. Shino's place is in the most convenient area in Japan. We were 7 minutes away from our friend who is teaching in Japan. We were a 10 minute walk to Skytree which allowed us the opportunity to have access to pocket wifi (thanks to Shino's guide for letting us know about that) and conveniently close to several train stations. The apartment was super clean and very modern. Great view of the Skytree right from the front door and the area was very quiet at night. To anyone who reads this and is planning a visit to Japan, THIS is the place to stay!!! You would be making a mistake choosing somewhere else!
