We ended up being about an hour late to our check-in time but Ash was really understanding and even took the time to show us around the immediate area. Overall the neighborhood was excellent, close to the Hatsudai train station as listed, and the house itself was wonderful. It's close to a highway and main street but you would never know unless you looked outside. The welcoming host and atmosphere of the house were all impressive and we're considering staying again in the near future. I definitely recommend this house and these wonderful people to anyone who is interested in staying in the area.
