Fabulous place to stay. Hiro’s house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and the home feels lovely and cozy. (Guests should be aware that there is no television- but there is internet. It’s also a little tricky working out the stove and hot water if you can’t read Japanese.). As the house is 2 story , it’s great for 2 groups, or for children to have a separate sleeping space from parents. The neighborhood is fantastic- there is a lot to do in the local area and it is very quiet at night. Also heaps of restaurant choices. An easy walk to the train station and also the water taxi/ boat cruise area on the river. Lots of parks nearby. I would definitely stay again.
