It was our first visit to Japan and we were very grateful that we were able to start with an overnight stay with Yoko and her husband. There are certainly many friendly and helpful people, but Yoko and Aki are a prime example. They really did everything to make sure we felt comfortable and that we didn't lack anything. They were also very caring and accommodating.
Yoko and Aki's house is very well located. It's less than a three-minute walk to get to buses 32 and 33, which take you to Shinjuku Central Station. There are also other bus lines within walking distance and a subway station is also easily accessible.
The two of us had enough space in the room offered. Everything was clean. A small breakfast (if requested), welcome drinks, towels and also shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were provided to us. Everything was very clean and well maintained.
It was an absolutely successful start and end to our trip to Japan.

I had an enjoyable time staying at Yoko's home. Yoko and Aki are some of the friendliest and kindest people I have met; I loved watching TV and chatting with them! The house is easily accessible by bus or metro, the rooms are spotless and the whole atmosphere is very comfortable. Overall my stay was a lovely experience and I would highly recommend travellers around the world staying in Yoko's house during their time in Tokyo.

We are a family of 4, with 2 teenage children, on our first Homestay experience. We could not have had a better first experience; Yoko and Aki have welcomed us as friends would do! Yoko greeted us before our arrival, she was very helpful and available. Aki is a funny and entertaining host, it was so nice sharing meals with both of them!
The house is cosy and large enough for a family of 4, you get to have the whole ground floor. It's very conveniently located, 1min walk from the bus getting to shinjuku in 15mins, with lots of supermarkets around, and even a public bath-house at walking distance. We would definitly come back to this house if we ever travel again to Tokyo :)August 2023
Yoko and Aki have been wonderful hosts, they are very kind and helpful people and the house and rooms are clean and well kept.
As I stayed a long time, the lack of access to a kitchen made making my own food impractical, although my room was furnished with a small fridge and a kettle.
I highly recommend staying with Yoko and Aki to anyone visiting Japan, they will do everything they can to make your stay as smooth as possible.July 2023
Thanks for the stay and the official yoko's house stamp !
See you soon :)June 2023
I stayed at Aki and Yoko's home for about a week and it was a wonderful experience. They are both very lovely, helpful and funny. Yoko speaks very good English, so I had a good exchange with her about life in Japan, but I also had a lot of fun with Aki. The room is spacious, clean and has everything you need. The location is also great, quiet in a residential area with a bus and an underground station within easy walking distance. Breakfast was also delicious, but what I enjoyed most was chatting with them and Timo (another guest) at breakfast and in the evening when I was at home. I quickly felt at home. Anyone looking for a personal experience in Japan should definitely book here.

I had a lot of fun staying with Yoko and Aki! I feel like I have made a friend and we still keep in touch even after I left the homestay to travel around in Tokyo. Yoko knows how to have fun and provides top tier food. Also one of their cats, Yuki, loves being pet and I spent a long time brushing their hair.

Yoko-San and Aki-San are so amazing! They made me feel so welcomed and right at home. They opened their home and hearts to strangers and I can tell they enjoy every second of it! Yoko-San and Aki-San are so funny and do their best to accommodate every need. The room was neat, tidy and very spacious.
I loved every second I was there staying with them and I am sad to have to leave. If you want a homestay experience where you feel like you are part of the family, I definitely recommend Yoko-San and Aki-San house!!

Yoko and Aki were great hosts and very friendly! Will definitely return again if I am in Tokyo!
