About the Area

Our house is located in a quiet suburb area in Saitama Prefecture - a residential area where many people travel into Tokyo for work. Located ~5 mins from the nearest bus stop, and around 10 mins from the nearest train station, Tokyo is easily accessible.
Our place has lots of supermarkets, shopping centers, gym etc - so you don't really need to travel into central Tokyo for shopping!

    Toshiko-san and Tomoji-san were literally the most considerate hosts ever. I speak decent Japanese so I spoke often with them, talking about all kinds of things and really got to know them. They made me meals whenever I was home and one of my favorite routines was when I caught up with them during breakfast in the morning. Despite my weird waking hours, they did their best to accommodate me, and they went above and beyond for everything. Whenever Toshiko-san had freetime, we would go hang out together whether it was tagging along for chores, shopping, or meals. They are honestly like family to me now and I am looking forward to seeing them again whenever I come back to Japan. Highly recommend!

    I feel so blessed and privileged to have stayed with Toshiko and her family just for a few days. They are the kindest, most generous, most warm-hearted and caring people. Toshiko's home is so cozy and filled with the energy of love, you can tell that she takes great pride and great care of her home. The bed was the most comfortable one I've slept in! The foods Toshiko made were so delicious and varied. She took me to experience a public bath and shared with me information about great places to visit in the area. My heart is filled with gratitude and appreciation, reflecting back on my time here. It feels like home. I hope to visit again next year and to speak a bit more Japanese this time!

    Toshiko is the best host you can ask for.
    She is kind and caring, and her family is lovely as well.
    Her house is very beautiful, and the room was very comfy and clean.

    If you want to experience an unforgettable stay in Japan, don't hesitate and book at Tohsiko's!

    Thank you for coming to my house. Mr. Marek was kind and he was a generous and nice man. He actively helped me in many ways. He also cooked Czech national dishes for us. Thank you very much. I hope to see you again.

    This is the second visit to Toshiko-san's house. Your meal was also delicious. It was a good trip to Yokohama for 2 nights and 3 days. See you again in July! また会いましょう!

    This was such a great experience even though it was a bit shorter than planned due to me having to be in Tokyo center. I would very much recommend anyone to stay with this warm and welcoming family, whether it's for the pleasant social interaction or great food. Much love

    We had a great stay with Toshiko and her family recently. Not only were the house great, but they were great hosts as well. Fun to chat with over dinner and breakfast, which were tasty home cooked Japanese food, and they always showed interest in how our day had gone, and had suggestions and input on what else we could do. The neighborhood they live in is nice and quiet, and we had no difficulties getting to and from the major parts of Tokyo using the bus and train. It was actually nice coming home to the quiet suburb after a day spent sightseeing in places like Shibuya or Shinjuku. If you're looking for an authentic Japanese homestay experience you cannot go wrong with Toshiko and her family.
