I have been to Japan a few times with travel agents (because I don't speak Japanese), and this is the first "local home stay" experience for me. I do like the neighborhood a lot, it is quiet & yet convenient. In fact, we kind of (with my friend) fully utilized all the facilities : local salon, supermarkets, park, Onsen, restaurant...etc.

Mami's place is a cosy, neat, clean & well-maintained room. Once you step in you would notice the smell of some nice fragrance, which tells you the place is under care of a good house-keeper. (Especially the towel provided were so soft, fluffy & super absorbent, we forgot to ask where to get these:D).

It was a relaxing & secure feeling while staying in Mami's place, for you know the owner is just one level above, so if there is anything happen, you have a local to ask for help.

I would highly recommend Mami's place to girls who would like to travel Japan & a have home-stay experience.
