Tokio was an amazing host. Extremely thorough and provided many helpful tips. He speaks very good English, and is quick at responding. He was extremely welcoming, caring and a great host. Unfortunately my family and I only stayed for a night to catch a flight out the next day. Would have loved to stay at his place longer to explore the surrounding areas more.
Just before we headed out, we finally got to experience traditional ryokan. It was an lovely experience, the house was very clean and spacious. There was a modern Europe twist to the house and it felt very cosy. 10/10 recommend!
