Noboru's place is great for a traveller looking for last-minute accommodations. He was quick to respond. The room was well heated and humidified. He was very welcoming, and made a very nice breakfast in the morning.
The place is right next to some very pretty shrines and temples.
It's a little bit hard to find from the train (you need to know where to go) so make sure you're able to view his instructions before you don't have wifi!
