The host Naoto-san is very friendly and thoughtful. He prepares all kinds of information, and many stuffs in the room for your possible needs. He's very prompt with the email. Just email him with any questions, you usually get reply soon after.
The 12-15 minute walk from-or-to station are easy for many, but not for all. Some may want to plan ahead to avoid too many round trips. The apartment is close to a major road, the room is nice, clean, and very cozy. We're a family of four, and we enjoy it very much.
We also enjoy the nearby Denny's (in my opinion, much much nicer than the American Denny's next to highway), Hotto Motto (a famous to-go shop), Lawson 100 market and another 100-Yen general store. The 7-11 (again, not your American 7-11 with gas station, instead a nice mini supermarket) and Family Mart are everywhere, and I also enjoy the local super market. These are enough to take care of your every meals if you stay in. Of course, if you get close to the station, you can easily find many great places to eat with price under $10.
