Our take
I would pick GLOU Koiwa when space and self-sufficiency matter more than a central address. The kitchenette and in-unit washing machine cut down on restaurant meals and laundromat runs, and the bath is welcome after a long day of sightseeing. Koiwasuiten-gu Shrine and the shopping street give a feel for everyday Tokyo. Expect a commute into Shinjuku or Akihabara, though the line runs direct, and a 7.5 rating that points to simple, functional units.
- Take advantage of the kitchenette and washing machine for a more budget-friendly and convenient stay.
- Explore the local shopping street and nearby mall to discover authentic Japanese goods and eateries.
- Utilise the direct train lines to Shinjuku and Akihabara for easy access to Tokyo's main attractions.
Why we love it

Why guests love itGLOU Koiwa works as a family apartment: each unit has a kitchenette, a washing machine and a private bathroom with a bath, so meals and laundry stay simple on a longer Tokyo stay. Koiwa is a residential corner of eastern Tokyo with a local shopping street at the door and Shapo Koiwa mall nearby for groceries. Trains run directly to Akihabara and Shinjuku. The 7.5 score from 191 reviews suggests a practical base rather than a polished one.
