Yukio is a very friendly person. He picked me up from Shinyurigaoka Station where my coach arrived. The house was cold in December but Yukio brought us an oil heater and kotatsu which is a table covered with a quilt and has a heater inside - a traditional Japanese winter item! Unfortunately he closed down his restaurant so we could not enjoy his yummy meals. But he has a small office downstairs so we could always pop in when we needed him. The house had everything you need - cooker, pans, fridge & freezer, microwave, toaster, iron, TV, wifi of course, and there is a supermarket, bakery, drug store and post office near by, so it was very convenient.
