I have been staying at Megumi for 11 days. It was quite short, but probably the best 11 days of my life. I really recommend everyone to stay in osaka. Osaka is very beautifull and the food is amazing. From osaka you will also be able to travel very easily to Hiroshima, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe using the JR pass. My room was very big and comfortable. Her house is very close to the station and a very big Aeon mall. The mall really blew my mind. It was very big and even had a foodcourt, wich i really loved. The mall and the station (not a JR station) are only a 4 minute walk from her house. There is also a 7-eleven and a lawson just 2 minuted walking from her house. Megumi and her husband are great hosts. They helped me a lot with my trip. Not only did I learn a lot about japan and its culture from them, but also simple things like using the transportation. We went to a summer festival together. Even though it was very crowded an busy I still really enjoyed spending time with Megumi, her husband and her little daughter ( she is very adorable). It felt like I was a part of their family. I had an amazing time and I could not have imagined my trip without it. I really hope that I can see them back in the future. Please choose your stay at Megumi and you will not regret it!

I was at first a bit skeptical about homestay, but that feeling was gone the first day I stept into the house of Tomoko. Tomoko is a very nice and caring person. She tries her best to make your stay the best it can be and you can definitely notice her efforts. The care she gives to her guest is amazing and even inspiring. She works at day, but she always make sure that you will have a really good breakfast and dinner. Her house is very close to the station and a 10 minute walk from the JR station, this makes transportation very convenient. There is a lot of shops around the tachikawa station, so even if you decide to stay in the area, you will not get bored at all. There is also a big supermarket and a 7-eleven nearby her house. Her dinner meals are delicious and I really enjoyed our talk at the dinner table. Her english is also very good! It felt like i was a part of the family, wich was great. I learned a lot from her about japan and its culture . I would not have been able to learn all this at an hotel. Homestay was definitely a good choice. Tomoko’s hospitality, the area and the ease of transportation are the reasons why I recommend you to choose Tomoko as your homestay host. She also drove me back to the JR station for my departure, wich was greatly appreciated. I reallly enjoyed my stay at Tomoko and I cannot imagine my trip without it. The only thing I can say is: until the next time. Do not hesitate, book your stay at Tomoko and prepare for an amazing trip!
