Konnichiwa. Welcome to tokyo.
Sachiko was born and grew up in Higashimurayama-city,Tokyo.
Higashimurayama-city is known as the stage of the ghibli movie"My Neighbor Totoro" and the home of the dierector,Hayao Miyazaki.It is the good harmony of the nature and the urban life to live.It also close to Koganei park where there is Edo Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum-Inspired to create "Spirited Away".
The park is also known as one of the most beautiful cherry blossom view spots in Tokyo.
We both went to a high school in Minnesota,USA as exchange students. We are very experienced travelers and homestay hosts from all over.There are lots of fun event opportunities and experiences to get together with guests!

==Why we started homestay host==
First we want to share why we started this homestay.
Sachiko,Kurara(Daughter of Sachiko),Jun(Son) had backgrounds of living or traveling around other counties, and talked people, learned culture, history, and there is always something made us happy and interesting, or something that leads us to. What we learned is that while traveling or deciding what to do, we always look for something we can trust especially people, or information.
Whenever we come back to Japan, we always appreciate what we have here in our country, convenient transportation, food, nature, Onsen, Temples, advanced technologies, many fun places to hang out. However,a tough thing about Tokyo is getting busier and too complicated to know where to go in order to learn about true culture, history, language, or to meet certain people you want to talk.
That is why we would like you to help give information depending on what each of you want and support you to have wonderful time here.
We would like to request you to write about yourself as much as possible when you message us so that we can tell you read our description, and we will be able to know how passionate you are coming here and how we can help you.

    I had a fantastic stay with Sachiko san. She was very friendly and made me feel right at home! She also helped me a lot with my Japanese and we talked about many interesting topics during my stay. The bed is comfortable and the house is very clean and cosy. Would recommend!

    Sachiko was an amazing host! It was obvious through our conversations that she was such a kind person. Her home was lovely, in a location close to the train station, and quiet yet convenient. We ran together, shared travel stories, and talked about our lives and career goals. I would 11/10 recommend her to anyone staying in Tokyo, and will be looking for her next time I travel!

    I stayed at Sachiko's house in October, my first month in Japan. She is a lovely woman and helps with anything and everything you need. Higashimurayama is a lovely place, safe and pretty quiet. As someone who lived most of their lives in the countryside, I was filled with joy to be in a new country but feel at home as well by the familiar atmosphere. The station is close, and convenient to explore that part of Tokyo prefecture or going to the city centre as well. Sachiko also helped me with things like which supermarket is the cheapest to buy food, where is the most delicious ramen restaurant or which onsen the guests would enjoy the most. She also recommended sights in the nearby cities (that is how I found one of my favourite spots ever in Saitama prefecture) and a lot of events (like the Kawagoe Festival which was mind-blowingly beautiful) as well.
    I 100% recommend this homestay if you come to Japan, especially for the first-timers! ^^

    Sachiko-san is a free spirit, international in outlook on life, welcoming and warm. Her place is filled with love and even in the coldest of winter, sunshine poured in and i felt home in at her place. She took us to see the first sunrise, visit the temple and treated us incredible delicious osechi-ryori for Japanese New Year. Her family is very sweet, her mom always broke into childlike laughter and her father is internationally traveled and cultured. I am so blessed to have spend my 2024 new year with her!!

    Sachiko-san is a perfect host. She is very experienced with home stay, both as a guest and as a host, so she provides everything you need and more. On the one hand, Sachiko-san will give you all the privacy and autonomy you want. On the other hand, she will help you get what you want from your visit if you ask her. In my case, after I let her know I was interested in visiting shrines and temples, she offed amazing help finding important and interesting places to visit wherever I went in Japan. On several occasions her suggestions led me to some of the most meaningful visits of my trip. I can't even begin to tell you how far she went to help me enjoy Japan. Sachico-san is a truly extraordinary person. Her English is very good and I enjoyed and learned from our conversations.

    The location is very nice. It is far away from any well-known tourist spots, so you will have a taste of the ordinary life of Japan. But there are amazing temples and parks nearby and a 15 minute stroll down the riverwalk, past schools, homes, farms, and shops will bring you to the train station. From the station, the Seibu line will whisk you off to Shinjuku. From there you can go anywhere.

    It was a sad moment for me when I waived goodbye. I hope to visit Japan and Sachiko-san again soon.

    Sachiko is a fantastic Host. She is fluent in English and always a pleasure to talk to. If you need any help or suggestions on what to explore you can count on her. I spent a month at her place as part of a workation. The internet connection at her house is perfectly suited for this.

    Keep in mind that the house itself is a bit far away from the Trainstation but totally doable with a walk. A ride to Shibuya takes about 30 minutes. Even so the part of town where the house is located has more than enough Shops and activities. Especially around the Station.

    Sachiko manages to bring everyone who stays at her place together. When i visit again i will make sure to stop by at Sachikos place. I highly recommend this Homestay and Sachiko!

    My first ever homestay experience was a complete success!

    Not only did Sachiko accommodate me on extremely short notice, she and her family were also making sure I would get the most out of my stay in Higashimurayama on any given day.

    My purpose was to prepare for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test in the month leading up to it, so I specifically sought out a place where I would be forced to interact with locals in Japanese and not be constantly distracted by everything the metropolis has to offer.

    Since your motivation will likely be a different one, rest assured that Sachiko is absolutely fluent in English. Private Room 2 was spacious and the futon bed offered the right amount of comfort for me not to sleep in every day. You can do your own laundry and there is a separate fridge for guests in the dining room. Also Sachiko's cooking as well as the local sake are absolutely delicious!

    As for getting around, that's a different story. There are two drink vending machines in close proximity, but for anything else, expect to be walking for 10
    (convenience store) to 20 minutes, as most cafés / restaurants are located near either one of the train stations. All in all it will take you around an hour to get to central Tōkyō.

    With all that in mind, I would still highly recommend a stay at Sachiko's.
    Five out of five stars.

    ありがとうございました!

    Sachiko San was a great host! She was extremely helpful and a pleasure to be around. Even though she was quite busy at times, she always made time for me and the other guests she had staying with her. Sachiko is an inspirational type of person who fills you with joy and happiness. I will be going back, and I will definitely look to spend time with Sachiko again.

    The line to reach most lively neighborhoods is close, very practical
    It was perfect.

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
