We stayed at Uchimura-san's property for 1 week during the midst of winter (February). The property is exactly how it is described. It was a very comfortable stay. The Japanese room is beautifully decorated and you can tell the owner is very proud of this room. Do note, in the winter, the hallway between the Japanese room and the bedroom can get very cold as is the bathroom and the toilet area. It is a comfortable 15-20 mins walk from either of the train station but there are not much covering if the weather is bad. We loved the long soaked in the roomy bathtub after a long day of sight seeing. You will be in love with the local supermarket that is just 5 mins from the apartment. They have very tasty ready made food. Don't be surprised if you gain a few pounds after your stay. If you are looking to have a sense of how it is to be a local, this is a place for you.
