However, some insects very rarely come into the house because guests open doors and windows during their stay.  【For Foreigners】 Normal Japanese houses have entrances on the first floor, so our house is not really airtight. It is very hard to prevent all invasion of insects for almost all houses in Japan. Because this kind of problem is very common in Japan, please understand it. That’s why we couldn’t give you a refund due to pests.
