    Kana war eine soooo tolle Gastmama, sie hat uns immer geholfen und Insider Tipps gegeben. Das Zimmer ist vergleichsweise zum Hotel in Nagoya groß bei Kana und sehr gut erreichbar gewesen mit der Oedo Line. Hoffentlich sehen wir uns bald wieder!

    Kana e suo marito sono due persone fantastiche. Ti aiutano se hai bisogno di qualche consiglio. La casa è anche situata in un posto molto strategico per quanto riguarda le varie stazioni

    Review of Homestay with Kana and Isao:

    My 6-day stay with Kana and her family was truly exceptional. From the moment we first connected online to my final day, the communication was seamless and pleasant. Kana was always responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout my entire stay.
    The accommodation was perfect - with a comfortable room, bathroom, toilet, and shower all conveniently located on the same floor for guests. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described.
    One of the highlights of my stay was an unforgettable evening spent at a local restaurant with Kana. This experience gave me authentic insights into Japanese cuisine and culture that I couldn't have found in any guidebook.
    I'm particularly grateful to Kana for her uncomplicated, polite, and helpful nature. Her kindness and willingness to assist made navigating Tokyo much easier, and her local recommendations were invaluable.
    I would highly recommend staying with Kana and Isao to anyone looking for an authentic Japanese homestay experience. Thank you for making my first visit to Japan so memorable! :)
    Thank you Kana!

    And some words for future travelers: ;)
    I strongly recommend leaving your usual expectations at home and embracing Japan with an open mind and appreciation for simplicity. Japanese homes are often more compact than Western ones, but this intimate atmosphere offers an authentic glimpse into everyday Japanese life that is truly invaluable. The true magic of a homestay experience comes from adapting to and embracing these cultural differences rather than comparing them to what you're accustomed to at home.

    This is the best homestay ever!!! I highly recommend this homestay. Kana and Isao are amazing people who love to host. I enjoyed staying there and I wish to come back soon. Kana helped me with everything I needed and it totally changed all my experience in Tokyo and made it perfect. Kana made me feel at home even when I’m far away from home. Thank you Kana you are number one!!!

    Kana's house is a very nice house. It's a good place to live. The room is spacious and the bathroom is large and very clean. Kana is such a lovely host, she takes great care of us and takes the time to listen to us and make recommendations. I hope I can have the chance to come back to her house one day.

    Choosing to stay with Kana-san and Isao-san was the BEST decision. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Kana-san is very friendly and approachable. The place is located in a calm and peaceful neighbourhood, a short train ride away from the bustling city. We went to the local izakaya together and was one of my highlights of my trip. Highly recommend for anyone staying in Tokyo, I can’t wait to come back. Rico-san is the cutest!

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.
