You can stay with peace of mind even with children. It's more attentive than a hotel, and there's no hassle of face-to-face communication like in a hotel.There is also a washing machine and a kitchen, so it is recommended for long-term stays. I will use it again.

Great price and away from the city. It is a 10 minute walk to the train station and 5 minutes from convenience stores. Everything is quiet and very clean. I love the space and atmosphere. I wish I stayed longer but if I did I wouldn't want to leave. The host Yukino also helped me when I came early for dropping off the bags.
