Yoko and Aki were excellent hosts! Though Yoko was away for work during most of our stay, Aki was always there and extremely helpful and most importantly make the best breakfast meals! Once Yoko arrived, she was very helpful as well and made sure our stay was comfortable. Overall I would love to stay with them again!

First time staying in homestay. The place was very convenient for me, as i was studying in Shinjuku, there were busses and metro close by to get around Tokyo. Had a big room for me and a set of closet/bath room to share with another person, all clean and easy to use. Yoko and Aki took care of me in the mornings for breakfast and for laundry making it easier to stay and enjoying a bit of conversation. All good. Thanks for hosting me! 、また今度!

Yoko and Aki were absolutely wonderful homestay hosts. Yoko was very communicative, spoke fluent English, and was easily accessible via Whatsapp and e-mail, answering any and all questions that I had. The room was really large and comfortable, with great AC, lights, windows, a fridge, and a comfy futon and pillows. My room was right near the front door so I didn't worry about coming and going and making too much noise. The bathroom and toilet were clean and very nice. Breakfast with Aki each morning was a delight! All the food was delicious and carefully prepared. Some of my favorite meals in Tokyo, since Aki would tell me about the news and discuss interesting topics with me in simplified Japanese and some English. I learned a lot from him, and was really delighted with the hospitality and also the cats. The location was very convenient with buses going to Shibuya and Shinjuku just around the corner, and kinda near a train station. There's supermarkets and 7-11 right next door too! All in all, a really perfect and wonderful stay, and I highly recommend having a fantastic time with Yoko and Aki.

Yoko and Aki were amazing hosts! Yoko speaks great English and it was easy to communicate. Breakfast in the mornings were a nice touch and they accommodated me not eating meat. The room itself was lovely, with a wardrobe, desk, fridge and kettle! The AC was powerful and great after a humid day. It is a convenient location, 10-15 minute walk to the tube station and 2 minute walk to a bus stop straight to Shibuya! Would definitely recommend for any solo travellers! Thank you Yoko and Aki for hosting me :)

I stayed there during the month of July and loved it! They are both very friendly and helpful. Aki san made amazing breakfast and Yoko san was always very kind to me :)! They are not strict about curfews and respect your privacy. I would go back and recommend this homestay.

Yoko and Aki are very friendly and helpful. Our stay was very pleasant due to the house itself but also due to morning discussions with Yoko and Aki... They had good advices for our stay / visits and a lot of nice exchanges on local japan and Tokyo traditions / culture.. Me and my family enjoyed our stay in Tokyo.. Many many thanks Yoko and Aki...

We had a lovely stay with Yoko and Aki, they were very helpful and friendly. ( We arrived very late/ early morning due to our flight being delayed and Yoko was there to greet us with a smile, which meant a lot)
Aki made us breakfast each morning, which was appreciated
Thank you for a lovely stay and all your helpAugust 2019
Yoko and Aki were wonderful hosts that I thoroughly enjoyed living with! The four months I stayed there felt like being at home. It never got boring to talk to either of them or play with their lovely cats. All questions that I had were happily answered by both of them. Yoko does fantastic meals in the evening while Aki prepares phenomenal breakfasts in the morning. It truly felt like being with a second family!
The house was at all times clean and tidy, the room I lived in had every necessarity available. Public transport is really convenient as well as the several supermarkets and grocery stores in the near vicinity.
I already miss the time there and cannot wait to come visit again!
