    We had a really lovely, but too short, stay in Yumi’s beautiful, modern and very comfortable home. Located in a peaceful suburb with excellent connection into Centre of Tokyo. Yumi was very welcoming and chatted with us giving us very useful tips and answering our questions. Would highly recommend this homestay and hope we can return one day. Ate out once at a very good sushi restaurant locally and enjoyed breakfast provided by Yumi (help yourself basis). Thanks again for a very enjoyable experience.

    The only thing I regret about this stay is not staying longer and I really wish I could just as easily cancel my flight and extend my stay. As my first ever homestay I am so grateful of having such a wonderful and amazing host as my first. I really can't wait to be back and definitely would want her to host me again in the future.

    I enjoyed my stay with Yumi. She was very accommodating and nice. She takes good care of the place and keeps it clean. The location is a short walk from the station and various restaurants and convenience stores.

    It was awesome to stay at Yumi’s in Satagaya for a week. We could spare only one evening to go out together as we worked European office hours but Yumi’s company was priceless. She’s kind, honest and speaks perfect English - what else could you expect from a host as a gaijin? Our room (no.1) was fantastic, shared space convenient and functional. The other 2 rooms saw guests coming and going as the Bell House is open to bookings on other platforms. We’d gladly come back as Yumi’s guests

    The homestay at Yumi's was beyond amazing. The room was very spacious and super comfortable. The house itself was very modern, if it weren't for our trip to Hokkaido, we almost didn't want to leave. Yumi herself is really helpful and friendly. She gave us very good recommendations for things to do in Japan and was very accommodating at every step of the way. The complimentary drinks were a plus too. I could not recommend this place enough!

    Staying at Yumi's place was amazing for multiple reasons:

    1. Yumi san is one of the few people in Tokyo perfect to host, she has a lot of travel experience, knowledge about living abroad and she is very thoughtful about your stay and what is needed.
    2. This area Yumi san's house is located is very good for just meeting and learning more about Japanese culture. It isnt crazy like Shibuya or Shinjuku.
    3. The house itself is very beautiful and rivals even stays in Hotels and you are surrounded by grocery stores and restaurants.
    4. Very close to Shibuya and Shinjuku and not that far from Roppongi Hills or Ginza.

    For me it was more than just a place to sleep, it felt like a second home. Yumi is a very helpful and kind host. The modern house was always clean and in a perfect condition. The large living room with a comfortable sofa is perfect for a rest after a busy day in Toyko. Everything for a good breakfast was always available in the kitchen. It takes just a few minutes to walk to the train station, with very frequent connections to get to Shinjuku in less then 15min.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
