Totally one of my best AirBnB experience!
Tomo-San and Hiroko-San has been more than hosts, they have been great friends and great company too!
I had the most fun time sharing meals over breakfast and once or twice during dinner!
I recommend this place primarily because of that.
One of the best things they did was to offer to drive me to Mount Fuji, not only that, packed lunch, water and even a helmet and sunglasses for me! I did appreciate the thoughtfulness and the effort for them to get up early, drive for almost 3 hours one way.
They also were very helpful even at the onset of exchange prior to me arriving. I have inquired about climbing and hiking places, a park to run and they all sent recommendations the next day - location, instructions, directions and all.
I just have to mention the breakfast that Hiroko prepares every morning. It is a feast, and generously wakes up early in the morning to prepare the breakfast of champions. Indeed!
Can I just mention that they prepared a bath for me when I arrived from my loong flight from Phoenix??? how nice is that?
They also are just helpful and just generous in every way. They researched, printed, showed me the how-toe, explained directions, let me taste traditional Japanese food from their home, and offered to purchase tickets and talk to train officers for me.
Location of the house was great. Wedged in between and adjacent to a lot of train routes in and out of Central Tokyo. If you are a city person, Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya are very accessible.
I love coming to the house! The walk going to the house from the train station is perfect for me. 10-m starter walk of cardio exercise while you head out for the day.
Wifi is fast!
I love my room!
All in all, Tomo and Hiroko's place is now considered to be my home in Japan!
