体验式住宿Komaian

I had a wonderful stay of three nights. The house which has been constructed using traditional Japanese building methods, is beautiful. Masae san is the perfect host. She prepares a sumptuous Japanese breakfast using local Tokushima ingredients. The location is perfect for exploring about four temples on the 88 temples pilgrimage but Masae san also guided me to a local Indigo dying atelier which was great fun. It takes about 25 minutes from the house to get to the centre of Tokushima and access is easy. The location is semi rural and you see traditional farming all around. Mostly I enjoyed talking to Masa san who loves to share her love for her hometown.

Everyone!!! You must stay here!!! The hosts are amazing and feels like you coming home. The house is a wonderful warming Japanese home. The hosts (I am not sure if I can use someones names on the site review) makes amazing breakfasts everyday and we even had the opportunity to meet the family. If you want to experience life in Japan "Staying here is a MUST". The location is perfect, close to train and bus stops --- "ON THE PILGRIMAGE TRAIL" --- Temple 15 and 16 are within easy walking distance. Literally, everything you could want and more. AMAZING !!!!!!

For me, Masae-san and her husband, Yoshi-san, were perfect hosts. I joined homestay.com because I am travelling around Japan and I thought the site would provide good opportunities to meet people and to improve my Japanese. Sadly, this has not always been the case, as many hosts provide just a room in their house, isolated from family activities. In those cases, I may as well have booked an hotel. This was not the case at Masae-san's place, where I felt very 'at home'. Her breakfasts are excellent and she took me on tours around her locale, helping me to understand more about Japan and to improve my Japanese. The tatami mat room (washitsu) was lovely and the house is very clean. I have no faults to report. An excellent 1-week stay!
