Aki’s home was a few minutes away from the closest station, toritsudaigaku, which made for a nice walk to begin and end each day. Aki is very welcoming and puts in the effort to make your experience the best it can be. She allowed us to borrow her umbrellas on rainy days as well, which was a lifesaver. Sound does travel throughout the house very easily, however it really wasn’t a huge issue. I would definitely recommend staying at Aki’s beautiful home.
