EK House is a 10min walk from the nearest train station and 4min walk from the nearest bus stop. It was a nice residential area very peaceful at night. Eika & Yuko were very accommodating. Communication is very smooth. We know that there are lockers all over Japan for bags, however sometimes it's full and I so like the fact that we can leave our luggages in her house even before check in time. EK House was extremely clean and all things were provided with a bonus of a freshly brewed coffee. We love having coffee in the morning before we start our tiring day roaming around. It was indeed a great experience at EK House. Highly recommended! We would love to go back. ^_^
