WOW. What an experience. This being my very first Home Stay I was blown away, not only was I scared as anything to travel to a different country, especially one where I don't speak the local language. The first night I was welcomed with open arms every day I felt like I was part of a very special family in Japan. The home is in a quiet area, very close and easy to get to and from the closest train station. The Family are so nice and welcoming.
Lina and Tomo (The children) are so cutie to watch them play, and are very well behaved and polite to homestay guests. The grandmother (Hiba) is so wonderful, and very active for being 88 years old.
Both Marie and Tsuyoshi are so welcoming and very easy to get along with. I for one, have had the best time of my almost 38-year life in this short amount of time, and I know I will miss them all. I even caught myself looking at the local Real Estate advertisements to see about the cost of purchasing a home in the local area after such a short time.
I can highly recommend this homestay as the greatest place to stay if you are wanting to stay anywhere close to Tokyo, if you are wanting to stay in another area of Japan in a homestay, I suggest you change your plans and stay here instead. I guarantee you will have the best time and experience for your life.
Please don’t delay your plans, book now before you miss out. I can’t see the rooms in Marie being able to be booked for many months in Advance.
