That's been my very first time in Japan and I have started my journey just in a Mega city like Tokyo. So, I'm really happy to have found excellent, helpful and organized hosts and to have booked this very nice room in a neighbourhood, that is not an anonymous business or hotel area but a real life environment. Finding the location was easy. They send you "step-by-step" instructions marked on a map and this was really helpful. Check-in/Check-out was easy and uncomplicated. The house, the room, the facilities, ... everything was as described. They provide you information on the nearby locations (restaurants, bars, supermarket etc). From the very first moment on I felt welcomed. Whenever I return to Tokyo I will try to book here again.
