The house is very clean and spacious and the host was excellent - available almost 24-7 by text to help with anything we needed. She even ordered some extra cutlery for us and had it delivered within a day!
For older people, unsure of staircases, be aware that the house has wooden stairs(like many Japanese homes do) , which can be slippery with socks on. My father who was recovering from a broken leg had to be very careful.
He also could not walk the 850m to the train station, but was instead was able to flag down a taxi at the corner store, (which by the way is well stocked for all the basics! )
For 2 couples staying together in the house there was one queen size bed, and two other single beds in different rooms.
The heating in the house was warm and main dining and loungeroom was lovely and bright and airy. We had a good stay here.Thank you to our host!
