Tatsuro-san was very kind to meet me at the station despite the last-minute notice. He also helped me drag my bag to the apartment complex, which was really near the station and located in a quiet neighbourhood. There is no elevator and the stairway is really narrow so beware! (i.e.Don't bring huge luggages like me.) The apartment itself was really thoughtfully decorated and all the necessary amenities like pan, pots, kettle, cutlery, plates, hair dryer etc are provided. My mum came to stay for a few nights and extra blanket and pillows were provided. It is a little bit cramped for two pax but not a problem for short stays. Hot water and shower strength were great too! the day we checked out, Tatsuro's daughter came instead to help us check out, and she was really kind. All in all a great apartment, and one i might consider staying in for long-term if I were in Japan.
