Makato’s flat was great for our family of six, two kids and four adults. The pictures are accurate. It is off the beaten path but very close Yahiro station and next to a Familymart. The place has a small footprint and lots of stairs, be prepared to lose some weight, which is a good thing! At first I was dreading the climbing but got used to it quickly and enjoyed it. Makati has lots of little touches in the house. A coffee maker, hot water, laundry. Her communication was excellent. Very, very clean, too. We will be back!
