My Husband likes cooking but still control his own company & I'm accupuncturist. We like to travel and go to ONSEN very much.
We have an apartment in the mountain, for ski and ONSEN but we prefer to go ONSEN.
We live in Nerimaku Tokyo, our home is a 3 minutes walk to the Nerima-Takanodai station. Here is so beautiful when in cherry full bloom season. Way to the station, cherry tree-lined both river sides. We have two spare bicycle, which our guests are welcome to borrow during their stay.

Kyoko is a nice lady. Helpful and sympathetic. She speaks good English. Her house is well cared and she makes delicious sukiyaki.
But first, Nerima Takanodai is far from the center of Tokyo and trips in train are expensive. Secondly, make sure before coming that Kyoko has well noted your arrival hour , unless you can stay on the pavment a long time.

Staying with Kyoko was great. She is a wonderful host and person. She provided a small breakfast every morning; also in the evenings, when I was around, I had dinner with her and Papa-san. The house was more spacious than I had anticipated. I was there for a week so I was also able to wash clothes during my stay. A little sad to leave but I would definitely come back.

I'm sorry but I cannot recommend this homestay. Kyoko has 2 houses at Nerima so maybe you don't live with her, his husband and other guests. We stayed in the house where she doesn't live, so this can be a good point because it is like a private appartment (or room it depends if there are more guests) for you, but if you want to be surrounded by japanese people, feel like at home with a family and learn culture, this doesn't help. You do your own breakfast with toasts, milk and sometimes she brings fruit, also you can go to the other house and have breakfast with the other guests. Kyoko is a good person but she went into our room several days when we were sleeping and opened the windows although it was really hot outside. She also did our laundry. Comparing with other homestays this is cheap but the problem is that to go to Tokyo you need to pay a train for 260yen to Ikebukuro (and more if you go further) that isn't included in the JR lines. So everyday you expend at least 520yen a day for the train, and also the last train is at 00:30. Also it was not very clean and we had some problems with hot water because sometimes it was only warm water. The house is near the station so it is a good point but also you hear the train at 5 am.

she's made a very wonderful home for many people! She would make dinner for all of her guests and was always delicious and the atmosphere was so fun! I would gladly stay with them again.
