Nori's place is near from 2 stations. The place is surrounded with a lot of restaurant and minimart. Shiba itself is in office area, so if you start travel in morning, you won't get rush hour train to tourist attraction. The place (2floor) is really clean and cozy. Everything in the house is perfect, Nori has a great taste. The stairs is a lil bit steep but dont worry bcause there's a handle. If it weekend, sometimes you will hear little sound from people talking from restaurant nearby, but if you turn on the tv you will not hear anything. Overall our experience in Nori's place was great. My family (4adults, 2 kids - 8yr & 1,5yr) is really happy..
