Kota San was an amazing host, and was willing to meet us fairly late in the evening for our check-in. He and his family were so warm and welcoming that we felt at home right away. He gave us some great maps and recommendations for the area, which was conveniently located near a train station. There were also some great little restaurants by the station that were open late and turned out to have delicious food! The house was absolutely beautiful (and designed by Kota himself!), and fit 3 of us nicely. We definitely could have fit more people, but the extra space was nice! The house was very clean and spacious. The futons were comfortable, and we had everything available to us that we needed. Kota San definitely went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable and had a good time. This was our favorite place to stay during our 2 weeks in Japan, and we would definitely stay here again!
