Chie and her husband were great hosts! They drove us to and from the station when we first arrived and when we left. They also drove us around to show us the surroundings and gave us practical tips and suggestions. We stayed at this place for a month and enjoyed every aspect of our stay. It was good to experience life in a Tokyo suburb, quiet while still very convenient. The No river runs right behind the house so the scenery and wildlife are very nice. There are good trails to walk or ride a bicycle. Highly recommend!
