We had a lovely time with Yoko, Aki, Yuki and Gin. Yoko and Aki were very caring and provided lots of advice and insight into living in Japan. We enjoyed our breakfasts with them. Our first taste of homemade nigiri was fabulous. Nakanoku is very easy to get to and central to most sights in Tokyo. We enjoyed meeting the other guests also. Highly recommended.

We stayed with Yoko and Aki for three nights. For us it was a good location. A 24/7 supermarket with ATM just one minute away. Yoko welcomed us with warm noodle soup. Aki’s breakfast was great. We enjoyed Aki’s humour.

Yoko and Aki were by far the best homestay family out of the 3 we stayed with this summer. Yoko speaks great English, and Aki speaks enough to get his point across (helps if you know some basic Japanese words), and he's also the funniest guy in the world! It did not feel like they were renting out a room only for extra money, they genuinely love meeting new people from around the world. The breakfast they made for us was always delicious and prepared Japanese style. Yoko and Aki are very knowledgeable about the surrounding area, and will give you great travel plans and tips if you need them.
The location of their home is also fantastic. It is a three minute walk away from a bus stop that can take you to Nakano or Shinjuku Station in ~10 minutes. If you want to save money and have a JR Pass, you can simply walk to the stations along the beautiful city streets. This way you don't have to pay for a bus fare, can admire the town, and can go anywhere in Tokyo once you get to the station.
Yoko and Aki's homestay is perfect for those who want a clean and quiet city setting for extended periods of time. The room is comfy and spacious enough to spend a lot of time in if you want, but there is far too many things to do in Tokyo for that to end up happening. I will definitely be staying with Yoko and Aki again for my second trip to Japan. -Patrick

We stayed 5 nights and loved it! The hosts were very friendly, and the location is excellent. It feels both very close to the craziness that is shinjuku area, but also removed just enough as to be peaceful and residential. Talking w/Aki was fun and gave us a better understanding of the culture. Would recommend to others!

This was for sure the best HomeStay ever. I stayed 3 weeks at Yoko and Aki's house and it was the time of my life ! Aki and Yoko are the sweetest, funniest and most caring hosts. It was my first time in Japan and they gladly helped me a lot with what to visit, the transportation and so on. On my first day Yoko welcolmed me with delicious Yakisoba. Aki made us breakfast every morning and it was the best moment of the day since I got to make friends with wonderful and funny housemates staying in the other rooms of the house. Besides breakfast, Aki also made us dinner 2 times and entertained us with really good jokes ! Yoko is super fun as well, once she invited us to eat Yakiniku and then we went to Karaoke. It was one of the best day ever. Besides, they are really caring, they will make your laundry if you ask them or show you how to do it. I really felt at home at Aki and Yoko's house. They are the best ! I will for sure book again at their house next time I come to Japan!!
