Thank you very much for your interest in Yoko & Toki’s house.
My name is Toki(man) and I’m living in a place about 1 minute away from Yoko’s & Toki’s house which you will stay this time.
I take care of bookings and enquiries.
Let me introduce myself first. I have travelled a lot since I was a teenager and love learning about different cultures in different countries; I’ve enjoyed the company of local people there.
I work in IT, and have three young children.

Yoko & Toki’s house is a two-storied house located 6 or 7 minutes’ walk from the nearest station.
The house has vacant rooms upstairs and so we would like to rent them out for people visiting Kobe to help make your stay in Kobe a pleasant one. Yoko(woman) speaks English reasonably well and is happy to help you out if you need some help.

This spacious 2-storied detached house has a large garden and a roof balcony. It's located in a quiet and attractive residential area in Kobe.
We're renting out the whole upstairs floor. Although Yoko(woman) lives downstairs by herself, your privacy will be completely respected. We hope you will feel staying here is just like being in your own home.
Despite being a short distance to the train station, it's surprisingly quiet! You can also enjoy the night view of Kobe and wake up to bird singing!
