Words cannot convey how beautiful both Murakami and the family who own this apartment are!!! Communication before arrival was prompt and Taiko even dropped any plans to pick me up at the local station saving me money on further transport. Over the 2 week period i stayed here this family made sure i was fed and clothes were cleaned, inviting friends and family around for both food and Karaoke has been hospitality i never knew was possible. Please dont hesitate to stay here and when here if you have the time, try to get to know Taiko the apartment owner. I did and will never regret it!!! I am now on a Youtube video walking the mountains and learning to forage for organic vegetables. In all honesty when it was time to leave i couldnt help but shed a tear or two, this family have truly welcomed me with open arms which in turn opened my heart to them. Simply outstanding people
