  • Four of us stayed at the Nishi-Ogikubo two-bedroom apartment during mid-March. Makoto-san was nice enough to meet us late on a weekend night to show us to the apartment and spent time explaining the apartment and other useful information. The apartment itself was really nice, with big comfortable beds and free internet, and even a washing machine if we needed to wash some clothes! The 24-hour supermarket near the apartment was also very convenient to us, and the station location was very close as well. In all, this was a very comfortable stay that saved us a lot of money if we were to have stayed at hotels!

  • Me and my mother stayed here a few months back and we loved it! The apartment was comfortable and spacious. It was also very clean and had many things already included such as shampoo, soap, and conditioner. The location was great, only a two minute walk to the station and within walking distance to lots of shops and places to eat. We loved having everything so close and were actually very sad when we had to leave to our next destination. We would recommend this place to anyone planning to stay in Tokyo and would definitely stay here again.

  • We (family of four) stayed in this apartment on Thanksgiving week (November, 2008). I cannot say enough good things about the apartment, access to the city and the neighborhood. Above all the hospitality and welcome by Mr. Makoto is unbelievably great. He gave all useful information a tourist need and always answered any question during our stay. It is very neat/clean and compact apartment with all necessary supplies. The area is very very easy to navigate has a great 24hr market, and internet cafe, and McDonald's, all within walking distance. If I am back in Tokyo in future, I am going to stay same place without any doubt. Thanks Mr. Makoto for making our trip a pleasant and memorable one. I

  • My wife and I stayed in this apartment in July 2008. I made the reservation in January and, as the date approached for us to leave for Tokyo, Makoto would periodically email me. He provided weather updates, thorough instructions on how to get to the unit, and a phone number I could use to reach him should we get lost on the way. We did get lost but Makoto was very patient, giving us instructions over the phone on how to navigate the trains and waiting at the station for us to arrive. The apartment itself was wonderful. Compared to many of the VRBO units that we have rented in Europe, the unit was quite spacious and clean. Especially the bathroom, which has a very deep tub -- a fantastic way to top off a day of sight-seeing and sooth aching muscles. The apartment is also air conditioned, which really is a necessary accommodation — summer in Tokyo is very, very hot and humid. The kitchen is adequate, equipped with all the basic tools required to prepare a meal. And the bed is very comfortable. I also appreciated the high-speed internet. Makoto made a point to explain the apartment to us and show us how everything worked. He had maps and brochures of local attractions to share with us and gave us a little gift, which was a nice touch. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if we returned to Tokyo.

  • We stayed at this apartment for 3 days and loved every minute of it. We were first greeted at the Nishi-Ogikubo station by Makoto, our wonderfully happy and friendly host, who showed us all the local conveniences before taking us to the apartment. We were initially worried about being away from inner Tokyo, but this was a blessing, and Nishi-Ogikubo actually has everything you could need without the chaos of downtown Tokyo and is still close to everything. There is a large supermarket next door to the apartment with a huge range of cheap ready to go meals (sushi, ton katsu, yakitori, fried chicken,rice etc), as well as a lots of fresh produce if you want to cook for yourself (but there is so much variety in the take-out supermarket food and its so cheap that its not really worth it). There is also a very nice Onsen only a few stations away that Makoto gave us information about. We loved the onsen so much we want to make one in Australia. The apartment itself was great. It is located almost over the train station, making it very convenient but the double glazed windows means you can barely hear the trains pass. It was very tastefully furnished and relatively spacious, with high speed internet and all the mod cons. Perfect for two people. We bought a JR rail pass in Australia which was worthwhile to travel on the shinkansen from Kyoto, but the NIshi-Okikubo line is a JR station, so you can travel for free within Tokyo on the JR lines for free with your pass (just flash it at the gate). Makoto gave us maps and we just made sure we stuck to the JR lines to get around. Only once did we pay for a subway ticket. We had such a great time we would love to come back, and we would not hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it to our friends. We would much rather stay in an apartment than in a hotel so we experience a more genuine Japan. We only wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Makoto!!!

  • Despite waiting until the last minute to try and find a place to stay in Tokyo, Mr. Makoto was more than accommodating to my brother and I. He arranged to pick us up at the train station and walked us to the apartment which was only a few minutes away. He took the time to explain the recycling system and everything else in the apartment. We had a great experience and would definitely stay at one of Mr. Makoto apartment the next time I am Tokyo. Having the super market and the train station around the corner from the apartment was extremely convenient. While there try the Sushi place with the conveyor belt, the Izakaya next to it and the other pub with the ping pong table(can't remember the names of these places)but great time were had all three places. Gracias Makoto for our introduction to Tokyo and also the CD, it was a nice gesture. The music in it it's pretty good too.

  • Very nice appartment. We were 4 linving there so it was a bit small but we were there only to sleep, so that was perfect! There's a nice grocery store at 1 minute by walk and the train at 5 minutes walking distance. The neighborhood is really safe (as the rest of Japan!) and the apartment responsable, Makoto, is really kind and helpfull! I recommend it for the price, the service and the facility around the apartment.

  • We stayed here for about seven nights with our 10 year old son while on our recent trip to Japan. We found it comfortable and spacious enough to suit our needs. We especially liked having Seiyu Market, a large grocery store, practically downstairs where we bought a lot of bentos and pastries. The apartment is very close to Nishi-Ogikubo Station. However, we found the Green Window at Nishiogkubu Station to be a little frustrating compared to the other offices we used at the larger stations-- the people at the JR Nishiogikubo Station did not seem as if they had encountered many tourists. As the other comments reflect, checking in and out is very easy, although you essentially have to make an appointment with Makoto in order to do so. However, Makoto is easy to reach, cheerful, and very service oriented. Now that we know the lay of the land a little better in Tokyo, Nishi-Ogikubo will definitely be one place we would definitely stay at again and we appreciate and enjoyed our stay there.

  • We stayed in this apartment from 12-20 Jul 08. There were 3 of us, including our baby and the apartment was spacious for us. The apartment was just a stone throw away from the seiyu supermarket which was opened 24hrs. So, there is no chance one will get hungry. The apartment was well equipped with all the necessities, especially the washing machine which we made use of everyday, thus allowing us to bring less set of clothes there. All the bathing essential was also provided. The kitchenette was also well equipped with all cooking utensils and cutlery. Makoto even provided us with some rice to cook. We spent some time in the neighbourhood and you can find many food outlets there which offered good food at a reasonable price. On our arrival day, Makoto picked us up at the train station and even on the air-conditioner in the apartment to cool down the apartment before picking us up. He was friendly, always packed a smile and was quick to answer any queries we had. He even gave a music CD as a gift. It was a small gesture but a very personal touch from him. We hope to go back to Japan one day and will certainly pick the same apartment to stay in again. Thank you Makoto-san

  • Our comment to this Nishi-Ogikubo apartment is long over due. But we still have fond memories of our Japan trip and this lovely apartment since summer, 2007. We traveled with our two kids, age 7 and 10. We were in Japan for two weeks and stayed in the Nishi-Ogikubo apartment for 4 nights and 5 days. The size of the apartment was perfect for our family, although one person had to sleep on the couch, the space is still sufficient. There was a fully equipped small kitchenette, but with the Seiyu Supermarket next door we never cooked once. You walked through the supermarket to get to the train station and there are more restaurants in the train station and beyond. You can’t go hungry in this location. Mr. Makoto was extremely polite and helpful. He met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment. He patiently explained the recycling system in Japan (we just finished a trip from Taiwan and it was just like Taiwan’s recycling system), all appliances in the apartment (there were clothes washer and dryer), made sure we know where we are going and made more suggestions before he left us. He even gave each of us a folding fan, which we found extremely helpful in Tokyo’s summer. Mr. Makoto made arrangements to meet us in the train station to pick up the key when we checked out. He gave us a bakery box and told us to open it on the train, which of course our kids ate the delicious baked goods as soon as Mr. Makoto left. We just think Mr. Makoto added that personal touch to our trip and he was a God sent to us in this foreign land when we spoke minimum Japanese. Great place! Great owner! Next time we will rent his two bedroom apartment since my kids will be bigger.
