Kana à été un ange avec moi tout le long, c'est une très bonne hôte. De plus sa maison est très bien situé, pas loin du metro, et avec un petit sento très sympa à proximité. Vous pouvez vous rendre chez elle les yeux fermé.
Kana, again thank you so much for everything.

Kana, her husband and her dog were a very nice and friendly host family. Because of Kana the stay in Tokyo was so special and I felt from the beginning very well in the house.
It was a real pleasure to stay at Kana's house and I would recommend anyone who has the chance to book a room at this host family as well. You certainly will not go wrong with that.Thanks again Kana for the many tips and great experiences with you. I wish you and your family all the best and hope that we may meet again someday.
Greetings from Austria,

Kana is a very nice and helpful host. I got sick during my arrival and Kana helped us to contact a Doctor who could speak English. Thanks to that I recovered very fast. Our stay was uncomplicated and pleasant. We haven't seen Isao much, but he seems to be a very nice guy too. We recommend having them as hosts. Ps. their dog is very cute

Kana-san and Isao-san were amazing hosts! Although they are both busy with work throughout the week, both of them are very caring and will do their best to cater to your needs. Their dog Riko is also very gentle and lovable. Basic amenities such as towels, hair dryer, shampoo, etc. are provided. The house is located in a suitable area near the subway and a small shopping center, as well as restaurants and convenience stores. Overall, I had a pleasant experience during my stay here, and will definitely go back the next time I'm in Japan! :)

Kana and Isao were amazing hosts from the start! Their house is in a quiet, nice neighborhood and although both of them are very busy, they will make every effort to spend time with you, get to know you, and even take you out to local restaurants. I also had a great time playing with their dog who was very gentle and quiet! Thank you two for everything and I will definitely be back next time!

I had a fantastic stay at Kana-san and Isao-san. The house was as expected, in a good location and clean. Everything you need is available. Also hairdryer, towels, shower gel and shampoo are available for use. Their dog Ricu is very lovable! Kana was incredibly friendly and helpful. She picked me up at the airport, went out to lunch with me, taught me calligraphy and we were in Disneyland. She is the best guide for Disneyland! I could never enjoyed so many attractions without their help. If I needed assistance with the ticket reservation, she helped me. She also organized my return to the airport. Joint evenings were very familiar and funny! I felt very comfortable with you at any time and I am sad that this wonderful time is over. I definitely want to come back. I miss you!

Kana was an awesome host. We felt as we were a part of the family. We’ll miss Niko she was the real kawaii dog. We enjoyed Tokyo a lot and are really thankful for all the help and warmth Kana has been providing us. Without her help our stay couldn’t be so pleasant.
I hope we see you again pretty soon!
Best wishes
Alexander and Elina
