You can expect to be treated very very well! The K Family will do whatever they can to make your stay at the Zen Lodge pleasant, and are very accommodating. The area is a 5-minute walk from the nearest station, and very local. If you are looking to see into the everyday lives of Japanese people, you need not travel further as you are in an excellent local area. Zen Lodge is super clean, very comfortable, fit our travelling situation of 3 separate families perfectly, was well stocked, and we would definitely stay at again.
