My children spent their three weeks summer school in the American School in Japan (ASIJ), which is located about 25 mins walk. The architect work of this place is nicely done and it is fun to stay for a few days. There are ramen shops, supermarkets and convenient stores in the neighborhood.
Matsuda-san is more than a superhost. He would make sure everything we need is available. He had helped us to find out information we needed about the area and rented bicycles for us to use during our stay. He ensured we have cleaned bed linens every week. He is a great host!!!
