Erika and her husband Hiro are really nice, welcoming, and friendly people. Upon arrival Erika greeted me with warm smile, and walk me through all the rules and check in process in both English and Japanese(per my request, she speaks perfect English). Then show me to my bed and where everything is.
Since I am only staying for the 20 hours layover I have in Japan every minutes is precious. I've never been to Japan, so I had messaged them prior to my arrival to let them know my short stay situation including all the things I would love to do during my stay, asking for their recommendations. When I arrived, Erika pulled out a map with all their recommendations and my interested location marked. that information had made my stay so much more efficient and I was about to enjoy my one night and brief morning in Japan. Surely an amazing plan. I love your hospitality and the view from your balcony. Sorry I had to leave in a rush in the morning. I hope to see you again.
