With Kathy you will get a friend and at the end of the day when your are going back to her house you feel like you are going home with somebody you can talk about everything.
She did everything for me, drove me to the station, to the food store, wash my clothes and give me any possible advice.
The area where she live is also very nice, a beautiful temple close to the house and if you go in sakura Season everything will be colorfull.
So i can only raccomand her.
Thank you so much for the rest of my life. CiaoooApril 2024
Nous avons séjourné quatre jours chez Kathy au milieu de notre périple japonais.
Kathy est une personne riche qui sait toucher le coeur des gens. C'est jusqu'ici la Française la plus cultivée sur le Japon qu'il m'ait été donné de rencontrer (pour y avoir vécu aussi longtemps, autant dire que son cas est unique !).
Merci beaucoup pour ton accueil, Kathy, et au plaisir de recroiser ta route !

Les descriptions des lieux par l'hôte sont vraies et Kathy essaie de minimiser les contraintes en facilitant du mieux qu'elle peut (ex: la longue côte =voiture, difficultés= soutien et aide à des solutions). Le séjour de 2 semaines a été une merveille grâce à Kathy, une femme souriante, qui aime accueillir et rencontrer du monde. Merci pour tout.

Un endroit pour pouvoir facilement visiter Osaka , et où Kobe.
Kathy est très disponible et avec beaucoup de gentillesse prend soin de nous .
Cela a été de bons moments partagés.February 2024
Sweet place and lovely host.
Enjoyable experience for sure.February 2024
Cathy is a very nice and warm-hearted hoster. She helped me a lot during my first stay in Japan. It was a very good experience and will be an unforgettable memory. It is a traditional Japanese-style house with a big garden & a cute dog. If you like walking and having fresh air everyday, it is a perfect place for you to stay because the mountain is just behind the house. During my short stay, I experienced the kindness of the Kansei people, everyone was so friendly and I feel very welcomed, except for one shop clerk who working in a fancy shopping mall, I don't like her.
If you want to stay in Osaka, Kobe or the Kansei region, I highly recommend it!!

Notre séjour chez Kathy a été fantastique et notre unique regret est de n'y être restés que 3 nuits. La chambre était grande et confortable, tout comme la salle de bains que nous n'avons pas eu besoin de partager mais ce que nous avons surtout aimé, c'est la gentillesse et l'accueil chaleureux de Kathy. Nous nous sommes sentis chez elle comme chez des amis et ses conseils de visites nous ont beaucoup aidés. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Un grand merci de nous 3 !! C'était une semaine au top. Merci d'avoir été au petits soins avec nous, d'avoir partagé votre connaissance sur le Japon et de nous avoir indiqué des coins superbes à visiter. Hâte de vous revoir

It was perfect ! It was like I was in my own family. Kathy and her husband are very nice and I had a great time with them!
C’était parfait ! C’était comme si j’étais dans ma propre famille. Kathy et son mari sont très gentils et j’ai passé de très bons moment avec eux !

We had a wonderful 3 week stay. The house lies at a mountain slope, so we had a wide view on Osaka, but the best was the open-hearted family. Lots of tipps and interesting evening talks gave us an insight to japanese life and culture aside from all the sightseeing opportunities in the area. Unreserved recommendation here, but better bring a healthy back when reserving a tatami room ;) - nonetheless an interesting experience.
Thank you so much for the beautiful stay from Berlin and Duisburg!
