We enjoyed our stay with Hisao. He was very friendly, generous & accommodating. He & his wife made us tea on our arrival. Next morning, they provided us with breakfast. They even gave us umbrellas as gifts because it was raining & we wanted to buy umbrellas for ourselves. He offered to take us to the train station but we insisted on walking because we wanted to explore the neighborhood.
It was a lovely walk. We got to see a lot of Nippori, old houses, gardens, etc.
