My house is very convenient to central Tokyo, 19 minutes to Shibuya from the nearest station, 40 minutes to Yokohama!
The price includes breakfast and a delicious dinner!
Supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, post office, etc. are all around the station!
Our family started volunteering as hosts in 1995, first accepting short-term students.
After our children grew up, we started accepting mainly long-term students.
We love interacting with people from different countries by hosting homestays!
We believe that having dinner together is an important way to communicate and understand each other better.
Please do not stay with us if you think that homestay is just a cheap accommodation.
My husband and I are very friendly, so please feel free to ask us anything you don't understand!

【About me and my husband】
First of all, I am not very good at english! When I contact you, I use a translation app. But don't worry! I am a curious person, so I don't think I will have any problem communicating with you! ^_^
Of course, if you want to learn Japanese, I am always willing to teach you ^_^
I used to have classes in European China Painting and Arita Ware.
I love to cook, not only Japanese food, but also Chinese food, Italian food, Indian curry, and many other cuisines.
Recently I also started baking bread, so you can sometimes enjoy my homemade bread! ^_^
I like to spend time with my guests at meals, and I think it is an important way to communicate with them!
And I also love to travel, go to the gym, do yoga and dance!
I am not working so if you need help I can help you!
My husband is a businessman and works during the week. He likes music and reading and is very knowledgeable about economics. You can talk with him about music and history!
We hope that you will gain a deeper understanding of Japan and the Japanese people through person-to-person exchanges
that you cannot experience on a tour trip. I look forward to meeting you ^_^.
