Kyoko and Paul are hosts in the full sense of the word. They don't just open their beautiful guest house, their prolific garden, their little paradise on whimsical Galiano island, they open their own door and their own hearts. Like real mama-san and papa-san. We only stayed two nights on a last minute trip and Kyoko invited us for dinner the second night, cooking a delicious meal with Paul. Kyoko made some incredible Sushi Chirashi for us, and we shared a dinner getting to know each other's lives. It was so special. We made friends! Also, the place itself, a larger than the pictures house, has everything you need, spacious kitchen, wood stove, comfortable bed, big open room, very very clean, and filled with delightful little details, like fresh flowers arrangements, Japanese style. One can pick greens and veggies in the garden too!!! The house is surrounded by the forrest, very quiet and peaceful. I only hope to come back and spend more time at Azami, I've been a host and guest for quite some years, and I can tell this is one of the nicest experience I've had.
