Well, yes, the nearest train station is about 12-14 minutes by walking but, if you want to know a country, a new place, you need to live it, you need to explore it, to be one more person in the everyday. Reiko San provides you an absolute and total freedom to do it. If you need help she'll answer your messages as soon as possible, if you don't need help Reiko and family just will be aware of you. They are very enthusiastic and available for support you. If you like culture and japanese lifestyle, absolutly I recommend her apartment, it will be what you are searching for.
どうもありがとうございます Reiko San.
