Great experience! This is a old Japanese-style architecture where you can experience traditional Japanese culture. It used to be a soba restaurant and the first floor still has a kitchen and Japanese-style decorations. Colorful paper lanterns are hung from the ceiling on the first floor and there is also an old-fashioned KOTATSU in the shared space. The bedding is thick and I didn't feel cold even without turning on the heater. The room also has a view of the courtyard, making it a very relaxing place. Tetsuya san is very friendly and can communicate in English. There is convenience store nearby and the subway station is within walking distance. If you want to experience the atmosphere of traditional Japanese life, I highly recommend this homestay!
