The room was cute and the space was as advertised. However, communication with the host was not good. It seemed to be a combination of poor English and some odd ideas about hospitality/ business practices. They had requirements to use a PDF document with lengthy instructions to access the apartment and refused to provide the lockbox code any other way (such as by a simple message). There were two lockboxes, with the one that we actually needed hidden at the back of the mailbox. The property has a requirement to be out of the apartment from 10am to 5pm every day, supposedly for cleaning, but when we said we didn't want cleaning during our 2 day stay the host said that we still needed to leave the property during those hours. We're out sightseeing during those hours anyway, but we found it odd that they would need us to be out of the room anyway. The patio door was broken (and didn't get fixed during our stay), so we couldn't actually lock the apartment. Fortunately nothing happened, and Japan is a safe country, but not being able to lock the door while our children slept was a problem for us. Also, the host kept trying to get us to use their airport transfer service, even after we said we weren't going to/from the airport. The host's claim that this service was "cheap" was simply not accurate either, as it cost 12 times the cost of the train to the airport. Overall, this place was alright, but interacting with the host made it feel like we were going to be scammed.
