I am from the USA and this was my first trip to Japan. Miko having a manual on everything from how you turn on the air conditioning to how to heat the shower water was so helpful! I came to visit my son who is stationed in Japan and we both loved the house. The Tenkubashi train station is a short walk and we rode the train all over the city. We got back several times after dark and felt very safe walking through the houses to get to ours. The accommodations were perfect!
