The house is located near the station about 5/6m walk. The place is stylish, clean, and overall superb! At first we thought the place is too small for 8 people but turns out to be fine altough a little bit cramped with our luggage (we spread the luggage to 1st and 2nd floor). What we love the most is it is located near JR hirai station (yes it is covered by JR Pass) with many convenience store and food nearby. Overall it's an amazing stay
