Hisao-san was welcoming, responded promptly and explained everything succinctly. The place was convenient not too far from the JR line but not in the city centre, which I preferred. It was nice to have a neat and tidy self-contained room for myself, also very sweet of his wife to leave sandwiches and snacks by the door every morning. Hisao-san offered to drop me off at the station after checkout which saved me time and hassle of changing lines. Highly recommended!
