Kanchan was an excellent host. He responded quick, picked us up at the station and was happy to answer any questions we had. Not being able to speak Japanese was no problem as we used a translator to talk to each other. The apartment is neat, simple, and clean. Having the little kitchen was a plus to bring back leftovers from all the restaurants. the neighborhood is quite and we spent a lot of time just walking around. Everything felt just as I hoped spending my week in japan.
