Our 5 nights at the Pencil House were good value from the location alone. We were met at the nearby Hatsudai Station and escorted to the house the first morning. Communication was prompt and clear from the start and we were provided with plenty of info about the house and getting around the local area. The house is compact but functional and we would suggest our family of 4 (two teenage children) would be the capacity given one toilet and bathroom as well as one small couch in the small living room. Kitchen was ideal and fully equipped and the house is immaculate and clean.
