Staying with Tomoko was such an incredibly wonderful experience. Tomoko's kindness and generosity made us feel at home right away. She was always happy to help with any questions we had about what to do during our stay or about Japanese culture, as well as help us to navigate the train system. The meals Tomoko made were absolutely delicious! Better than any of our hotel breakfasts in our subsequent travels. She is also very accommodating with dietary requirements or food requests! The cats are very cute as well. ♥♥♥♥♥

Staying with Kumi was the most rewarding experience. Her and her daughter are the most friendly, generous people I've ever had the good fortune to meet. Kumi is always happy to help you find your way in Japan and suggest activities to take part in a real Japanese experience. And she's always open to a good chat. I always felt welcome, comfortable and safe, and will definitely return to Kumis when I next travel to Japan. AND Kumi is the most incredible cook. Seriously amazing. I highly recommend staying here.
