Let me help make your trip fun!

I truly enjoyed my stay with Tomoko-san. My sister and I stayed for 27 nights and we felt that was too short! There is so many fun things to do in Japan and even more fun things to do in Tachikawa. Tachikawa is about an hour from Tokyo but sometimes only 30 minutes depending on the train and area you're going to. Tachikawa is a great residental area with lots of great food in walking distance, a great supermarket called Summit, and several convenience stores nearby. It's only a 5-10 minute walk to the closest train station. I chose to stay in Tachikawa because you can get away from the hectic pace of Tokyo if you want but also go into it at your choosing. Tomoko-san is such a sweetheart and makes you feel like part of the family. She feeds you breakfast and dinner so you can save money on dining out. Her meals are so nutritious and delicious. I always looked forward to when we would get a new guest because we would have a feast. Her food was so great adjusting back to my country's food has been difficult. She has 4 sweet cats that will talk to you and let you pet them. They are very sweet and will come visit you in your room if you leave your door open. The bathroom is very nice and has a temperature control. The toilet is a fancy bidet which so nice and hygenic that I have to get one at home now. The room we stayed in was nice and spacious. Tomoko-san has guests in her other rooms so you won't be in the stay alone. That concerned me at first because in my country you have to worry about theft. But even though the doors didn't lock I never felt unsafe and my items were never disturbed. Tomoko-san also graciously accepted my concerns and offered alternatives to keep my items safe if I wanted. Tomoko-san is very funny and helpful. She helped us with our heavy baggage when we left and sent us several links for restaurants and fun activities. She spends her time and goes out of her way to make sure each guest is prepared and has a nice stay. I was concerned about having other guests in the house but everyone eats dinner and breakfast together so it's a great place to meet new people and make friends. We would trade stories and tips so it was like a hostel without it being too crowded. It was nice to meet new people and hear their experiences. My favorite feature is the bathhouse right across the street. That's reason enough to book her stay. I probably showered at the bathhouse more nights than I did in the house bathroom. It has 3 hot tubs and a nice shower area. I went to kinosaki onsen village and I prefer her bathhouse to all the ones I visited! The owner is very sweet and will help you with buying your ticket for the bath. I wish we had more bathhouses over here! I had a lot of fun and made a lot of good memories in Japan at Tomoko-san's house. I hope to come back soon. If you look at her reviews she makes everyone she meets feel like family. Thank you for the great time Tomoko-san. I'll miss you!

Highly recommended Staying here in Japan was the best decision of my life. The five days seemed to have passed so quickly that the time felt so short. Along the way, I learned to live with it. The room was very nice. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Dana and Andrzej for joining us. If you are planning to choose this place, I would definitely recommend it. Tachikawa, not far from Tokyo, has a lot to see. I gave it a 10 out of 5 and highly recommend it to all my friends who read this review.

日本でここに滞在したのは、私の人生に最適な選択のようです。 5日、あまりにも短い時間だと思うほど時間が早く行きました。その過程で、一緒に暮らす方法を学びました。部屋はとてもよかったです。一緒に宿泊したヌダナとアンジェイにも本当に感謝します。あなたがここを選んで悩んでいるとき、私は非常にお勧めだと言いたいと思います。東京から遠くなく立川も見どころが多いです。 5つ星のうち10.このレビューを見るすべての友人にとてもおすすめ5日、あまりにも短い時間だと思うほど時間が早く行きました。その過程で、私は一緒に生きる方法を学びました。部屋はとても良かった。一緒に宿泊したヌダナとアンジェイにも本当に感謝を表します。あなたがここを選んで悩んでいるとき、私はとてもおすすめだと言いたいです。東京から遠くなく立川も見どころが多いです。 5つ星のうち10.このレビューを見るすべての友達に非常におすすめ

My stay with Tomoko was very pleasant. I'll miss my breakfast and dinners. I find myself looking forward to getting back for her home-cooked dinners. Tomoko has great cooking skills. She creates each meal with care. I was rewarded with different dishes during my week of feasting there. Not only does she make delicious healthy meals, she's also very caring. With her guide, I felt confident going on adventures by myself. She gives precise instructions with the directions. Tomoko goes above and beyond as a host. The airlines I was scheduled to fly on sent me an email in Japanese. Without hesitation, Tomoko translated the email to me and even helped me complete the questionnaire. Tomoko's four cats are a delight. They're always in attendance, and one particular kitty loves to chat. If I have another chance, I'd love to stay here again. Thank you, Tomoko. Love and hugs to you and your fur babies. Tell them to 'paw' me

Choosing this homestay was the best decision in my life especially when this is my first time traveling in my life. Tomoko made me feel like I was in a home away from home and honestly was very irreplaceable to me during my trip. Her cooking is amazing and I love how she introduces her guests to new foods. I also love how she interacts with all of her guests during breakfast and dinner because it makes me feel like I'm part of her family. A week of my trip was away in Kyushu and although I enjoyed that trip I felt something was missing which was having someone to talk to during breakfast and dinner. Having Tomoko enhanced my experience and all of my future trips in Tokyo will be using her homestay :) I will come back soon!
