Thousands of travelers have chosen this apartment over a fancy hotel in the centre of the city. What is the secret? Nishi-Ogikubo is situated in a perfect location to be described as an “urban escape” and yet, provides proximity and smooth access to the major sites in Tokyo such as, Shinjuku, Kichijoji and Shibuya. The nearest station, JR Nishi-Ogikubo, can be reached in 3 minutes through the 24 hour open supermarket, which is just around the corner of the apartment building. Chuo-Sobu line makes a stop every few minutes and then it only takes 12 minutes to get to JR Shinjuku station, the busiest station in the world.
The area is home to many educational institutions, antique shops, second hand shops, grocery supermarkets and local shops; A quiet and safe, family friendly location where you can take a rest after a busy day touring.
The apartment is consisted of one bedroom with kitchen and living room. The bedroom has a double sized bed and double-glazed windows to let in the sunlight. In the living room, there is a semi-double sized sofa bed, which allows you to sit and relax during the day time and convert in the night time to let the 3rd person sleep. There is a sliding door in between the two rooms. The colors of the linens and curtains are unified in orange, which gives the room a bright and warm atmosphere.
The newly renovated 1 bed room is fully furnished with beddings, linens, cooking tools, electric appliance, bath and the best of what you need for a home away from home.

This is my second stay at the Nishi-Ogikubo apartments. While I only stayed for 10 days this time, my last trip in 2008 I "lived" in the apartment for 5 weeks, it felt like I was home. Makoto-san is a gracious and knowledgeable host who will make certain that you have everything you need to enjoy your stay and that you know your way around the neighbourhood. The Seiyu supermarket was just finished being renovated during my stay and is now even bigger with more selections for groceries, bakery goods, and hot ready to serve meals. You cannot go wrong staying in one of the Nishi-Ogikubo apartments from LiveInAsia.

We stayed at nishi-ogikubo apartment for 6 nights and the place was absolutely convenient! we were surprised because the place was actually bigger than it looks on pictures. everything you need are provided there, the bathroom was super clean and nice, and the JR rail tracks behind the apartment doesn't bother us at all(when the windows are closed you wont hear a thing). the location is superb since its very close to the JR station by foot. and Mr.Makoto is very very helpful! he provide all the informations we needed regarding the apartment,transportations,locations, etc. we are very grateful! we'll definitely stay there again!

Tokyo is an expensive city and when you look at the prices of hotels, and even hostels, you realise what great value this apartment is. Every room we stayed in in Japan was tiny and although this apartment isn't huge (for more than 2 people it'd be a bit cramped) it felt really spacious to us. We loved the bright colours, comfy bed, couch, small but well equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom (by Japanese standards) and having a washing machine in the apartment. It was all very clean and modern. Makoto met us at Nishi-Ogikubo station and showed us to the apartment (a few minutes walk away). He was very helpful and gave us lots of information about the apartment, the area and things to do in Tokyo. He also provided maps and other information. Nishi-Ogikubo is 15 minutes on the train to Shinjuku, a major station in Tokyo. We liked the area as it's not at all touristy and much quieter than hectic central Tokyo. As the apartment is so near to the train station though the trains passing are quite loud. We would definitely recommend a stay at this apartment rather than spending a lot of money on a tiny hotel room.

My two daughters and I stayed in this apartment and I must admit it was the best thing to do. Much better than a hotel. It was clean, well equipt and although small, offered us much more of a homey feel. Nishi-Ogikubo is such a great little town, with plenty of places to eat and everything within walking distance, including a grocery store and a trainstation which took us everywhere without problems, it was fantastic. Makoto, you were brilliant, you were a great and we appreciated your help greatly - especially going out of your way to help us with even the smallest of matters. I'll also leave a note we went to Japan a week after the tragic disaster happened, and although worried on what to except, we have no regrets going. Tokyo wasn't affected and there was nothing to be worried about with the radiation. Please DO NOT let the western media scare you into going! Apart from a few after-shocks, everything was running smoothly. Japanese people are so helpful and friendly and are so strong through the disaster, and they were very happy to have us come and enjoy their lovely country and they went the extra mile to impress us. We'd definitely be coming back to stay again! And I reccomend this apartment! Dawne, Chelsea and Rhiannah.

We had a good stay at the apartment in Nishi.Ogikubo, in spite of being 4 grown-ups. It is very well communicated and the neighborhood is very nice and quite. The information provided by the staff was useful -and used! The proximitiy to the station and the 24hrs Supermarket are a plus. The only drawback is the sofa-bed, a bit to small even for a loving couple.

Small but perfectly formed

My husband, two teenage children (16 & 14) and I stayed in the Nishi-Ogikubo apartment for three nights in late June 2010. The apartment is small by Western standards (when the sofa bed and extra mattress are laid out there is no room to walk around), however it is very clean, comfortable and well located. It is also well priced, considering we would have needed two hotel rooms for our family. As others have said, just around the corner there is a 24-hour supermarket, good bakeries, take-away shops and the train station. The neighbourhood is just lovely - it was terrific to come home to quiet streets after tiring days of sightseeing. Our arrival in Tokyo was made so much easier thanks to the travel instructions Makoto sent us beforehand, and he was there to meet us at Nishi-Ogikubo Station, as promised. His advice was invaluable.

We stayed at this apartment in June. I went with my husband and sister, the apartment was a good size and very clean. We loved the apartment and Nishi Ogikubo! Everyone in the town was so nice! We enjoyed the restarants and shopping too! The train was right next to the apartment so it was easy to catch and get places, they were always on time too. Makoto was great and was very helpful!! We loved the apartment and loved Japan! We recommend this apartment to anyone, not only is the apartment great, but the town is too. You are only minutes away from a busy city, it is nice to visit Tokyo and then return to more quiet area. We will definately come back!

My boyfriend and I stayed at this apartment for 5 days... it was a good size for a studio and it has lots to offer a couple. The area is also a good area, but quite far away from the centre, the rapid train doesn't run at the weekends so it takes much longer to get to and from Tokyo a taxi costs 4,500 yen, before midnight, maybe more after. We think that guests should know before they arrive that the apartment is right next to the railway tracks and both windows face onto the tracks, so you can not open the windows and it is very difficult to sleep later than 5:30am as it's very noisy. This was not explained fully in the apartment information. The rest of the apartment is how it's described on the website.
