Casa Blan Otsuka
Casa Blan is an apartment-style property in a residential part of Otsuka, with different units from 27 m² to 64 m². It can work for couples and groups who appreciate self-catering and more living space, but the room numbers are not interchangeable.
Location
The address is 4-1-12 Otsuka, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 112-0012. Shin-Otsuka Station is about 770 m away, roughly a 12-minute walk. Marunouchi Line Exits 1 and 2 have lifts to the street, but JR Otsuka Station is a different starting point and must not be confused with the subway distance.
Room sizes
Units 201–502 range mainly from 27 to 34 m², with a double bed, sofa bed and sometimes futon, accommodating up to three or four. Unit 601 is a much larger 64 m² layout listed for up to seven, with sleeping arrangements across bedroom and living space. Compare photographs and actual bed placement by room number.

| 201 | 34㎡ | 1 bedroom: 1 double bed | 1 living room: 1 sofa bed + 1 futon；up to 4 guests |

Facilities and guest feedback
Guests liked some of the cooking equipment, washing facilities, bathroom drying and nearby supermarkets. There are also individual complaints about cleaning, drainage, unstable Wi-Fi, insects and odors. I would check the condition of the actual unit rather than assuming every apartment is identical.
Breakfast
Breakfast is not provided. The nearby supermarkets make it practical to prepare a morning meal or shop along the way to the station.
Nearby
The residential Otsuka area offers groceries and local streets. For everyday train trips, decide whether you will use Shin-Otsuka on the Marunouchi Line or JR Otsuka, because their walking routes differ.
Short vs. long stays
For one night, the longer station walk and entry arrangements matter. For several nights, cooking, laundry, waste disposal and bed space are useful, but the mixed feedback about maintenance deserves consideration.
Pros and trade-offs
- + 27–64 m² units including a larger group layout
- + Nearby supermarkets and self-catering options
- + Useful laundry and bathing amenities
- – Longer station walk than some nearby alternatives
- – Mixed cleaning, drainage, Wi-Fi and odor reports
- – Unit 601 differs greatly from small units
Conclusion
I would choose Casa Blan when the apartment layout and nearby shopping outweigh the longer walk and maintenance trade-offs. Confirm the exact room, beds and total rate before booking.
