    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!

    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.

    日本語:
    僕の滞在が本当によかったです。19泊泊まりました。お部屋が綺麗でエアコンやテレビがあります。佳奈さんは優しくて、親切で、大体英語が話せます。日本語の言葉が分からないと、佳奈さんは教えてくれました。最後の夜佳奈さんは夕食にラーメンを奢ってくれました。めちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。このホームステイが超オススメです。

    佳奈さんへ
    ありがとうございました。

    English:
    My stay was great! I stayed for 19 nights. The room was clean, had Air conditioning, and even had a T.V.! Kana-san was kind, considerate, and for the most part could speak English. Whenever I did not know a Japanese word, she was able to teach me. On the last night, she even treated me to to Ramen as a final dinner. It was very delicious! I highly recommend this home stay.

    To Kana San
    Thank you so much!

    Kana is a very kind host, trying to help with any topic about my stay in Tokyo. She even took the time to show me things around town and we had dinner/lunch together in her favourite spots. Kana really takes excellent care of her guests! The house is super clean and orderly and the location is great! You can very easily reach the main central parts of Tokyo by train in a short time. The room was spacious, very quiet and the other guests in the house were very friendly. I highly recommend to stay at her place, only very nice surprises .

    I absolutely loved staying in Kana and Isao's home. Kana is an incredibly inviting host who took great care to greet me daily and always made sure I felt at home in her home. She even offers the opportunity to attend her calligraphy classes at a discounted rate, something I absolutely will be back to attend! Situated only a few stops from Shinjuku station, I loved getting to experience living just outside of the main hustle and bustle of the busier areas of Tokyo and personally didn't mind the slightly longer commute into the city. I had a very packed schedule while I was visiting, so I didn't get to spend much time at home, but my time here already has me itching to return! The next time I visit Tokyo I will definitely be reaching out to Kana again.
