This was my 1st experience with HomeStay & was not sure what to expect w/the sharing of bathroom, But all went smoothly. Experience from check-in to check-out was both delightful & comfortable. Also was not sure about comfort of bunk beds from photo, but be rest assured that comfy they were! Kana made us feel right at home and absolutely love her cheerful personality & smile.
Thank You so much Guys & will see you for another weeks stay in couple weeks!!Host reply
Thank you for the nice review! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope you will too. If your daughter doesn't mind, I hope we can have dinner together during your stay next week. Enjoy your trip and I hope you have a great time!

Kana was such a wonderful host – kind, helpful, and generous. It was a joy to stay with her and Isao, and I am so happy to say that I made a real friend through my homestay! I look forward to returning to Tokyo and spending more time with Kana, Isao, and Rico in the future!

Kana-san was an amazing host!
She was extremely kind and helpful
I really enjoyed staying at her place for 5 days and would love to come back again in the futureMarch 2024
I already miss Kana san!! It was such a pleasure to be able to stay here during my first solo trip. I was super nervous to stay at a homestay since it was my first time, but I instantly felt very welcomed and at home. My room was super comfortable and had everything I needed, and the bed was comfy and clean. The shared spaces were also very organised, guests even have assorted storage in the bathroom and kitchen which was very handy. :)
The homey feeling that I was scared I would miss was definitely fulfilled by Kana & Isao’s kindness. Not to mention Riko (the doggy) ‘s cuteness!! I could stay in my room undisturbed whenever I wanted to, but I was also always welcome to go upstairs to have a chat. We even went out to dinner together!
I hope to come back to Japan soon, and when I do, I’ll definitely be staying here again. ^_^
Wishing your family all the best !!! Hopefully till soon!!February 2024
Kana-san was a very warm and friendly host, who took great care of me and my friend who stayed in her bunk bed room for one week. Her home is beautiful, and there are some great local Izakayas in the neighborhood. Kana-san even took us to her favorite Izakaya. We really enjoyed our time spent at Kana-san's homestay, and highly recommend it to anyone who visits Tokyo. Thank you Kana-san!

We had a great stay in Kana's home, she's a very kind host! Her house is in a good location, just be aware that the top bunk bed in the double room doesn't leave you a lot of space, but i'm not very tall so it was fine for me.
Thank you for everything Kana!November 2023
Kana is a caring and engaging host, and her house works well as a homestay. The location is very convenient to the subway and a very large supermarket. I had a very productive and enjoyable stay.

It was the homestay I urgently needed. Due certain circumstances I needed a lot of rest and could only do some small trips in the city. But it was the perfect location for that. The house is close to subway station and supermarket. The Toei Oedo Line brings you direct to Shinjuku, Yoyogi, Roppongi and Shiodome, where you can find as photographer endless interesting spots.
Kana-san is a lovely host. I really felt at home in her and Isao-sans cosy house. If you are looking for a nice homestay for slow travel and exploring, I can highly recommend this.
