"Kichijoji is close to my home town. I’m so happy that I could find this apartment at Kichijoji near Kichijoji station. I was looking for the room a studio style. Because this trip is just by myself. Not with my family. This room is for a young couple or a single. Not for older couple because it’s small size studio. The room is clean and cozy. There is an umbrella in closet which I could use in rainy day that was unexpected during my vacation. And I did a lot of laundry, I could hang wet...
