About a 8 minute walk from train station. Down a safe street at any time of day. Filled with shoppers, stores, bakeries and places to dine at. A Family Mart (convenience store) across the apartment. Safe area to stay. Very small toilet area within the bathroom/shower room. Expect knees to be against the wall. Very good host and replies promptly. Can converse with you in either Japanese or English. Would stay here again.
