Sachiko was extremely helpful. She picked me up at the station (even though I was late). She's very open about her life and I really enjoyed the conversations that we had. Although she was quite busy with several things, she always tried to make time for me. The tips that she gave me were awesome, I liked the location of the house, including the walk to the station every morning and night. Shofuku-ji and Hachikokuyama are totally amazing.
