Lina and Noa are very kind and generous. Their house is in a residential area and the room is upstairs on the second floor, right opposite of theirs. They helped us carry the luggages up to the room and shared with us the bathroom, restroom, kitchen and the living area. The room is very, very clean and the futon very comfortable—which says a lot. Many Japanese rooms I have stayed are a little lacking in terms of bedding comfort, but this is nice, and warm and soft—like a real bed! You won't have much in terms of storage, but you can make do. They also have portable Wi-Fi for you to use. This is a residential area, and just like the manual says, you have to be considerate of the neighbors as well as Lina and Noa, so throwing a party is definitely off-limits. The couple speak Japanese and are eager to have a conversation with you if you join them in the living room. What I like most is how the house is so close to the station, hidden in a small alley that requires you to walk downhill through narrow backstreets to get to. Pretty cool!
