Kei-san and Kotaro-san are extremely hospitable and very friendly. Initially I thought it would be awkward staying with strangers but over the course of my stay, I felt closer to them and it was an experience that I will never regret. Kei-san's breakfast are truly stupendous and it was a great source of motivation for me to wake up early in the morning. I enjoyed spending time with Kei-san and Kotaro-san over dinner and chatting about many different things. Baby Miya is so cute and cheerful, unlike any other babies I have ever seen. Kotaro-san is a really funny guy and he makes a great team with Kei-san. I was truly touched when Kei-san and Kotaro-san invited us to join them and their current guests (I switched host due to the lack of availability of the dates) at one of the gardens in the evening to view the cherry blossoms. Even though they weren't obligated to do so, they really treated us as family. No amount of words can describe how much I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to live with them and to experience their culture. In fact, my next trip to Japan might even be pushed forward because I am looking forward to meeting them again along with kawaii Miya-chan. My only hope is that there are available dates for my intended stay next year.
