If you are looking for a place where provide a more japanese traditional room, this is a place for you. However if you are travelling with kids, my suggestion would be skip this place because its a quite a walk from the train station (20 minutes) however you can take a bis to the train station which is faster but need to pay a 200 yen each trip. the host is very very friendly the check in was easy and communication is very good. it usually takes within an hour for the host to reply. Another top advantage is this host speaks fluent madarin and i speaks mandarin too so it makes communication much easier. this place is very good to stay its clean and safe.
