Shibuya神宮前 DAICHI&SOTEN

We loved this accomodation in Shibuya. Located just at the end of Cat St it was the perfect position to explore all that Shibuya offers. With a Family Mart downstairs, breakfast was easy before heading off for the day. The apartment was really spacious by Japanese standards and the beds so comfy. I had the best sleeps of our whole trip here and would definitely stay again.

Awesome location between downtown Shibuya and Harajuku. Private and accessible 24/7 with no hassle.

Maybe a bit dated fixtures- no lock or latch on the bathroom door.

The location is super handy if you are wanting to do anything in the Shibuya/Omotesando/Aoyama/Harajuku area as you can walk, taxi or get public transport everywhere. It's less than 10 minutes to walk to Shibuya station and you can stroll down Cat Street to get to Harajuku/Omotesando. We loved the fitout, which is a modern apartment that has been fitted out in traditional Japanese style (ie paper screen doors, tatami and mattresses - not actually futons, but thicker mattresses that can't be rolled up). The size is huge for Tokyo and great if you need to spread out all your luggage and shopping! Plus there is a convenience store right next door. This place is basically like having your own apartment in Tokyo; we will definitely stay again next time.

If you are tall like my partner, you'll need to be careful as the doorways are traditional Japanese height ie. short! He hit his head going through the door once :( But I was fine!!

Placé parfaitement entre Shibuya et Omotesando, c'est l'emplacement parfait pour découvrir Tokyo! N'hésitez pas une seconde si c'est votre première expérience dans la capitale, vous ne le regretterez absolument pas. On est dans un endroit calme malgré la proximité avec le carrefour piéton le plus fréquenté du monde, c'est top! L'architecture intérieure de l'appartement est sympa, le style ryokan traditionnel est réussi.

Le logement mériterai malgré tout quelques rénovations intérieures. ATTENTION il n y a pas de rideaux ni de volets, donc si vous souhaitez dormir dans le noir, c'est pas possible. De plus une lumière d'évacuation en cas d'incendie est dans la pièce principale, ce qui fait une lumière permanente, très désagréable pour s'endormir dans l'obscurité. Les cloisons coulissantes sont assez endommagées (plusieurs trous dans le papier...) ce qui donne un aspect un peu négligé à l'appartement.
