What We Loved
"In general, we were really happy with our stay here. The area is a good mix of peaceful on one side - with the Hinokicho Park with its resthouse looking out at the water in the middle of the city - then bustling a couple blocks over at the many, many local eateries and bars. And the people here may keep to themselves, but are still so considerate and kind. People would often offer to take photos of our group, or transfer seats in the train so we could sit together, or really take care to answer our questions even if they couldn't understand English. There was a man selling hot sweet potatoes from his little truck, and he gave us one extra for free!

What Could Be Better
Though physical activities are good for your health, getting around the train stations with all these stairs and no escalators was a bit difficult for our senior companions.
Things good to know in advance
Get a local SIM for data! We brought a PokeFi and it kep disconnecting during our stay, and would make it hard for us to navigate from time to time.
