Yukio-san is an extremely great host! We arrived at the homestay at 1.30am and Yukio-san is there to greet us despite being so late into the night. The bus station to Tsurukawa train station is very near and there's a supermarket in front of the house, and a laundromat in the same row of the house. The house itself is very clean and spacious despite the small size, as our travel group of 5 people can easily move around and even lounge in front of the TV. One room has a bed and a futon and one room has 3 futons, so it occupies max of 5 person. Yukio-san comes to collect the trash everyday, and at one point he even prepared a bath for us! ^^ He is very efficient and fast in responding, as i told him the heater has run out of oil in one morning, and by nighttime it's filled in full tank! I have nothing but great praises for Yukio-san and his house, it definitely deserves all 5 stars!
