Risa is an amazing host. She went out of her way to help us several times, as we are American and speak no Japanese. She helped us reserve a cab for the airport. The house is also super comfortable. The room was clean and spacious. Risa and her father are so friendly, and it was nice to have them around for support. I recommend you add meals, and she is an amazing cook and we found her cooking to be better than a lot of restaurants we visited.
