Kaori and her husband James could not be more welcoming! Other than providing amazing breakfast everyday, they also kindly invited me to dine with them. And nothing warms a traveler's heart like a nicely done, authentic Japanese udon soup in winter! Kaori's kids are well mannered and sweet. I had a blast staying at their house.
The room is exactly as described in the photos and is super clean! Upon arrival there was also cute little welcome cookies and tea/coffee set in the room. The house itself is close to a bus stop that goes straight to train station (5 minutes walk), and is located at a reasonably safe neighborhood.
Would definitely recommend Kaori's house to other travelers and look forward to returning to this place in the near future.
