Kaza 103 — Garden Apartment for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo

Where should we stay for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo?
Somewhere on the same side of Tokyo as the studio. Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo — The Making of Harry Potter sits on the former Toshimaen site in Nerima-ku, the same ward as Kaza 103. From Hikawadai the route runs via Kotake-mukaihara and Nerima to the Seibu Toshima Line for Toshimaen, then a 2-minute walk — about 25 to 30 minutes door to door.
Why an apartment instead of a hotel near Toshimaen?
Kaza 103 is a whole apartment for six with its own kitchen and washing machine, which matters after a long day at the studio tour: cook a late dinner, wash the day's clothes, and nobody is splitting the group across hotel rooms.
Getting around
Hikawadai is served directly by the Yurakucho and Fukutoshin lines. Ikebukuro is about 8 minutes away; Higashi-Ikebukuro, for Sunshine City and the Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo inside it, is about 13 minutes on the Yurakucho Line plus a 3-minute walk. Shinjuku-sanchome is about 14 minutes and Shibuya about 20 minutes on the Fukutoshin Line. Haneda Airport is roughly 58 minutes via Ikebukuro. All times are approximate.
The neighbourhood is calm and residential — quiet at night, with a Seven-Eleven about 96 m from the station, a Summit supermarket about 120 m, and two officially registered shopping streets at the station.
Honest limitations
Kaza 103 is on the ground floor, so there are no stairs to climb and no elevator to wait for. The apartment is fully self-contained; you share no space with other guests, and the hosts live nearby if you need help. Two things guests do mention: the Japanese air conditioner takes a few minutes to make a difference after you switch it on, and some guests get off at Sakuradai by mistake instead of Hikawadai — message us for a map pin. There is no parking on the premises, though there is coin parking nearby; we cannot store luggage after checkout; and smoking, pets and parties are not permitted.
How do you get here from Haneda or Narita Airport?
From Haneda, the route the owner recommends is the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho, the JR Yamanote Line to Ikebukuro, then the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho or Fukutoshin Line to Hikawadai — about 60–75 minutes in all. From Narita, take the Keisei Skyliner or a JR train into central Tokyo and change to the Yurakucho or Fukutoshin Line — about 90–120 minutes. Once you are on either Metro line it is a direct ride to Hikawadai, then a 4-minute walk on mostly flat, paved paths.
Is it suitable for a family with small children?
Yes, with the usual care. The apartment is on the ground floor with direct access to the outside, so supervise children near the entrance and the road. Every window has a lock designed to be hard for children to open on their own. Children's dinnerware is provided, and there is a bathtub.
What are the check-in details, and can you store luggage?
Self check-in with a lockbox, from 4 p.m.; check-out is before 11 a.m. The address and check-in details are sent once the booking is confirmed. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible depending on availability — tell us your times. We cannot store luggage after check-out, so use a coin locker at the station or a luggage-storage service. There is no parking on the premises; coin parking is nearby.
