We had a wonderful homestay with Yoko during our visit to Tokyo. Yoko made us feel comfortable and at home and went above and beyond to accommodate us. We enjoyed getting to chat with her and husband and appreciated all of their sightseeing tips for our travels. We highly recommend this homestay for anyone visiting the area!

I visited Tokyo for 10 day's. Staying with Yoko and Aki was the best decision!
Staying with them is not like a 2nd home, it is like beeing at home.
They are very helpfull and gave a lot of advices what to visit.
I realy enjoyed my morning talks with Aki!
With Yoko we ate Yakitori, traditional, homemade Chinese food and went to sing Karaoke.
With out them I would have experienced so much less!
ありがとう ございます, for the time.
I'm looking forward to visit you again.

Yoko is a very friendly person who is enthusiastic about sharing her home with you so you will feel very comfortable. One night she cooked a hot pot for myself and other guests and we had a great time socialising. Aki puts so much detail into hospitality, he helped me multiple times with my large pieces of luggage and makes amazing breakfasts.

Yoko and Aki San are very warm people. They were very welcoming and made us a super tasty Japanese breakfast every morning. Their home is very near a bus stop for the the 32 and 33 bus which takes you to Shinjuku Station. This was very useful as it comes every four minutes.

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
