    I had the most wonderful stay with Yuriko this past August. The room is very large and comfortable, and the house will give you the authentic Japanese experience. I really enjoyed chatting with Yuriko and his husband every morning during breakfast. They were very helpful and made my stay in Tokyo absolutely unforgettable!

    I stayed with Yuriko-san and Jin-san for one week. I highly recommend their homestay in Arakawa for anyone traveling to Tokyo. Yuriko made me delicious breakfast every day, and I really enjoyed chatting with them in the evenings while watching television. They took great care of me! If you don't speak Japanese, Yuriko is very patient and uses a translation app to help communicate with guests. The neighborhood around their home is also very cute and peaceful. Thank you Yuriko-san and Jin-san!

    Two really kind people. I really enjoyed my stay. You should be able to at least speak a little bit Japanese or have a translator with you

    I stayed with Yuriko for 10 nights and truly had an amazing time there. They were very kind and made me feel very welcome in their home. Breakfast was served every morning and was very good. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It was my first time in Tokyo and I thought the location was also good, took roughly 30 min to Ueno Park, Akihabara and Asakusa area and an hour to Shibuya, Shinjuku and Harajuku by subway. There is also a convenience store a short walk away. I would recommend to anyone travelling to Tokyo either alone or as a group.

    I stayed with Yuriko and her husband for 2 nights together with my friend. Their hospitality and kindness really came to shine. They were talkative and engaging in our plans and stories. We used translate apps for some of our conversations and tried to pronounce the sentences along with the use of gestures. They did not hesitate to welcome us home. My friend and I wish we could have stayed for longer and spent more of the day, but since it was the last few days of our vacation, we had some things we wanted to do. Yuriko made a lovely breakfast in the morning. The house facilities were clean and properly maintained and we had a spacious room with two beds, a couch and a table just for us. They told us about their family and they were very excited to share past experiences with other visitors. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay and felt at home from the moment we stepped in.
    Thank you so much for your warm hearts.

    Yuriko-san and Jin-san provide an authentic Japanese homestay experience. If you are willing to put in the effort to converse in Japanese (either for practice or through translation apps) they have a lot to teach you about living in Japan and being married for over 50 years. They made me feel very comfortable and were patient as I practiced my broken Japanese.

    It is a wonderful place. Yuriko san and Jin san are really nice and help you to find your way in Tokyo. They take care of you as grand parents, and are warm and welcoming. I have passed a pleasant and unforgetable moment.
