Takeo was a wonderful host and put in so much effort while I was there. He helped me take my bags to and from the station, gave me lots of recommendations of what to do, and there were lots of lovely touches like putting my name on the door, flowers in my room, an Australian flag and making me breakfast in the morning.
If you like to interact with your host and want ideas for your travels this is a great place to stay.
The room is traditional Japanese styke, comfortable and air conditioned and the house is close to the station.
You must like cats too Hikaru is very chatty!
PS. there's also a really yummy pizza place a minutes walk from the house
