Jihye was a lovely host, and made me feel at home in Japan. It was my first time travelling by myself, and it was wonderful to have someone as friendly as Jihye to help me. Her place was very cosy. I would highly recommend staying with Jihye!

Jihye was so helpful during my stay, and I loved getting to know her!! I definitely have a new friend in Tokyo^^
Jihye has some amazing recommendations for the best places to eat. I'm staying in Japan for a bit longer after my stay and I'll definitely be meeting Jihye again! I really recommend this homestay if you want a host who is really fun to be around:) Thank you, Jihye!! <3October 2023
I had a great experience staying in Jihye’s house.
The room is spacious and perfect for solo travellers. It is situated in a quiet area with couple of bus stop are literally 5min away! I’d totally recommend this place! *****September 2023
Jihye was very kind and helpful.
I stayed a bit less than 3 weeks, she gave advice on places to visit and made me discover some really tasty food.
The room is really nice and practical. I recommend you stay at her home if you get the opportunity.August 2023
Lovely host! And has everything you need for your stay!
I had a really fun time staying at Jihye’s place and enjoyed every chat and story we got to talk about! I would highly recommend staying with Jihye!
Thank you, and wish you the best until next time!^^July 2023
I really enjoyed my stay at Jihye's place.
Normally, it takes me some time to open up to a person I don't know, but with Jihye, I felt comfortable right from the very beginning.
I felt she went out of her way to make me feel welcome and make my stay at her place as comfortable as possible.
*
I also very much enjoyed our dinners together and talks we had for hours.
I think this was a good balance of doing things on your own and spending time with your host(s) .
*
This was by far the most comfortable place I've stayed while travelling to Japan. - Up until now I stayed - including Jihye's place - at seven different places.
*
If I come back to Tokyo, I'll definitely be staying at Jihye's place again.

Thank you so much, Jihye.June 2023
Jihye is so kind and accommodating. I stayed with her for an entire month and she was not only a gracious host but a good friend. I'm so grateful for her care for me, and for her efforts to make sure my time in Japan was great. I hope to visit her again next time I go to Tokyo <3

Jihye-san is an absolutely perfect host. She provided a high quality, immaculately clean homestay. Her apartment is in the heart of the city close to places I wanted to see in Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Harajuku. She truly thought of everything I needed to enjoy my stay in Tokyo. I enjoyed my time learning from her about Japanese and Korean culture and food. She is one of the most lovely people I have ever met. Thank you so much Jihye for welcoming me to Japan and making my first homestay experience the best! I wish you abundant success.

This was my first experience with Homestay and it couldn't have been any better. Jihye went over and beyond to make my experience in Tokyo wonderful from meeting me at the train station and escorting me back to the unit on the bus through to joining me for dinner twice. She was always bringing new foods home for me to try which was very welcome. The home itself was very quiet and immaculately clean and the shower and toilet worked well. The unit has a lift which was useful and is in a lovely location alongside a river with trees. I learnt much about Japan from our many conversations and I really enjoyed Jihye's cheerful morning and evening greetings! I hope to return one day. Thank you Jihye!

I had a very good week with Jihye!
She is very friendly and helpful. We had great conversations together, I learned a lot about the life in Japan thanks to her. She even took the time to make me and some other people walk around her area. Moreover, the room feels really comfortable, and the location is convenient, as it is close to public transportation. I definitely recommend staying with her !
