Kaori's apartment was an absolutely wonderful place to stay, and she is a fantastic host. I spent about two weeks here and did some cross-country traveling, but this is where I spent most of my time and called "home" during my visit. The apartment was beautiful, clean, and a perfectly comfortable size, and the futon mattress was so comfortable I think I got the best sleep of my life every night I was here! The supermarkets, convenience stores, and train station were only a couple of minutes walking distance from the apartment, so everything was very close by easy to locate. I happened to be there while it was still very cold, and Kaori even provided a space heater for me to use during my stay. She made my visit very comfortable and personable and even gave me a birthday gift (I came to Japan for my birthday) and invited me out for karaoke before my trip was over, and we had a wonderful time! Kaori is incredibly sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my stay and I certainly did, I would highly recommend anyone to stay here. Her hospitality is truly one of a kind and I hope I have the chance to stay here again next time I come to Japan!
