The good:
- Really big for a Japanese apartment, can easily sleep 6
- Toilet and shower are separated so it's easy for multiple people to use
The bad:
- Check in process: The host made us input VERY detailed information prior to checking in. This included everything from home address, passport details, previous place you stayed at if you were traveling before arriving in Japan (down to asking for the ROOM NUMBER of the hotel), & required us to take a picture of ourselves in the airbnb with a tablet provided. I felt that this was EXTREMELY overboard. Ostensibly this is by Japanese law but I've never stayed anywhere (Airbnb or otherwise) in Japan that required this level of information, to be filled out by the guest. Generally places just ask for some basic information or at most a picture of your passport. This whole process took forever and really soured my impression of the place.
- Location: If you're using a JR Pass, don't book this place. It's 15-20 min away from the nearest JR stations, which makes it pretty inconvenient.
