Originally we were supposed to stay in a separate apartment but Kawano san have took an initiative to offer an exchange to the newly renovated bamboo lodge!
We took the offer without much hesitation and we're glad to have take it due to its size. 6 grown adults can comfortably fit into this house with much room space left and with two toilets and one shower area, it can comfortably support more people.
The neighborhood of Tateishi is peaceful and also great to explore on the check in day.
Also a shout out to the Kawano for being a superhost in every regard of the term super host . From booking the studio Ghibli museum tickets for us to promptly replying any query we have prior to and during the trip. He even offer to fetch us to the train station to catch our Shinkansen on our check out day. All the above are sufficient to stay at the this apartment :)
Anyway once again to the Kawanos, thank you for holding my friends and I and for helping us make our trip such a success :))
