The location of Asako's house are perfect for tourist who would like to experience japanese lifestyle. It is right next to the station so you can go anywhere easily. Also there are many shops, restaurants,izakaya all over the place so our family went out everynight enjoying the izakayas. Also there is this wonderful bread house right across the street where you will lines of people. Please try that bread if you have a chance. It was the most delicious bread I have ever had. Anyway this area is full of treasure and it is super fun finding those treasure by yourself. I highly recommend this house to all the tourists who would like to experience something more than just touristy places:)
