very friendly family and was closer to a hotel experience, but that is not a bad thing. I got to meet some interesting people in my stay so would recommend a stay here.

Hideko truly made the experience for me; one for me to remember for the rest of my life. For me they went above and beyond my expectations. She drove me places I wanted to visit,and recommended some really cool location. Hideko has a really nice family, and she does whatever she can to help you enjoy your stay. She made me feel like apart of the family. Hideko has a warm heart and it was also the people she surrounded herself with that also made a great homestay. It was always bursting with energy. I highly recommend you book with Hideko you will get so much from your stay with her. Also the accommodation were very nice. Comfy bed, great food, just the total package.

Great experience Arlene helped explore more of Kyoto than I had originally planned. Also she helped me understand how to get around Kyoto easily. I had a great time with them very friendly family.

It was an absolutely amazing stay. Super nice family and very comfortable futon. The food they provided me was outstanding. I would stay and eat there rather then go to any restaurant. It was quite the enjoyable experience. I would definitely love to see them again some day.
