The boss was great, it seemed he saw a lot of foreigners before, he clearly could explain everything in English when he saw me struggling with my Japanese. But he patiently waited and we managed to communicate the entire introduction in Japanese! Also there were free bikes to use which was of great help

The couple Morio and Yoshiko are incredibly kind, friendly and warm-hearted. I feel so welcomed. It made me feel at home. Morio even drove me to the tourist site. I’d love to come back again and stay at their house.
