Yoshio is a fantastic host. I used his house as a base, and moved around Japan. Thanks to Yoshio who kindly let me leave some of my stuff behind, I was able to travel light. Yoshio let me use the third floor space including a bathroom and a toilet, which was great. His house, however, is in a dodgy area, so it may not be suitable if you are a young girl travelling alone and need to come home late at night.
