Yoko and Yasuhiro were helpful and friendly hosts. If you want western standards with space to breath, unlike much of the typical Japanese accommodation available, then don't think twice this is the place you should be booking. Three large rooms, so there was plenty of room for our group of four to relax after a long day. The apartment has all the amenities you need, comfortable beds, a spacious wet room shower and a Japanese style toilet. The local area has a good selection of shops catering for all your needs and Nogata Station with regular trains into the city is close by. Highly recommended.
