Hisao's place is a wonderful place if you wish to live like a Japanese city person would live, it is a older building as Hisao told me but it still feels welcoming but please bear in mind noise both on floor and in the apartment as walls & floor are thin. The apartment has all the amenities you could wish for including Coin Laundry downstairs but you may have to purchase laundry powder at the supermarket & there is no dryer as you dry it on your balcony. Room was very clean and tidy & has everything you need including all in one bathroom. Hisao explained also about the garbage sorting to the net outside the apartment as well as other rules & requests from him also which is on a laminated sheet on the wall in English & Japanese. Air-con (for winter & summer) works beautifully & the building also has protected WiFi throughout. The stairs are steep & narrow so if like me you have cases it may be a bit tricky & you will have to make multiple trips. You can say Hi to other ppl who live either near by or in the same building also, i said hello & good evening in Japanese to an older gent living there, very nice person.
