We had a very enjoyable three nights with Hiromitsu and Junko. They were excellent hosts and went out of their way to help us. Hiromitsu collected us from the station (although it is an easy short walk, so location is very convenient), and provided information about nearby parks (the Edo-Tokyo open air architectural museum is terrific and well worth a lengthy visit, as is the Showa Kinen Park a 20 min train ride away). Our friendly hosts also took us to an annual temple festival, and guided us through the experience of an onsen. For first-time visitors to Japan it was a wonderful way to gain insights into this country. Hiromitsu and Junko made it truly memorable.
