Kawano implemented a very simple and easy self check-in procedure that was so easy to follow. She even sent me email on how to reach her house from Haneda apartment which was so helpful. She even leave a very helpful note on Japan an Tateishi, we found our way in Tokyo most from the notes. The house is indeed just like in the picture. No problem for travelers who don't understand Japanese at all as she has everything translated, the instruction on the rice cooker, IH cooker, even the electric toilet! Internet is amazingly fast, the mobile Wifi is also fast and very helpful when you travel out. Easily 5 mins walking-distance from Tateishi station. Felt like home here, I would recommend any travelers to stay here. You'll gonna love Kawano's place. Cross my heart that I will stay here again during my next trip! :)
