Takeshi was organized and a great communicator. There were three of us staying at the house. The house was ready and waiting for us at checkin. It had a nice traditional feel, but with lots of space. Takeshi stopped by to say hi and check on us. We had plenty of space upstairs, we barely used the downstairs other than showering and getting ready in the morning, but there were two extra rooms. It's an easy 12-15 min walk to the JR station and a couple convenience stores on the way that were helpful for picking up snacks, water and a rain jacket when you realize you didn't pack well enough. 😉
