The place was so nice! Hotaka and her mother was so kind.I was so glad that I've choosed here for my stay. I ran to the cooking classroom fortunately the day I checked in, Hotaka's mother and here friends(a lot of) were cooking and let me sat to eat together. The food was so delicious! The house is very clean. I lived in this house for 5 days by my self. The street was also very beautiful. I always took walk around. In the evening, I stayed in the house, opened the fan(of course there was a.c. but with that there's no "wabisabi") took look at the garden and listened to the buzzing of cicada! Thats the japanese summer's night! Before I checkout, I learned how to repair and change the sliding doors' paper from Hotaka's mother and it was amazing! I'm sure I'm going to stay here again next time I come!
