Love this place. We got the whole 2nd floor (consists of 2 big rooms w/ private modern western toilet) to ourselves. This place only rent to one family/group each day, so we were the only guests. The first floor served as a shop, which only opened a few hours each day for five days. Thus, we pretty much had the whole house to ourselves during our stay. We felt like we rented a house rather than a room in a hotel. Great place to experience traditional Japanese house like setting with modern comfort (tatami beds, wood/paper windows covering modern windows, AC, modern toilet and bath, microwave and kitchen). The bathroom is in the backyard and totally modern. The backyard was another place we liked. We love how close this place is to both subway and JR railway. Definitely will stay here again.
