Masura clearly loves hosting and it shows in all the little things he does to go above and beyond for you during your stay. He and his wife make you feel right at home, welcoming you with a delicious authentic Japanese meal. We really appreciated the fact that he picks us up and drops us at the station nearest to his place. There's a hill of stairs you'll climb up to their home- great for getting the heart rate up a bit! ;) there's one toilet and one bathroom that is shared by everyone but we never found it to be a problem. All in all it was a great stay with amazing value.
