I loved staying with Sachiko. I would see her in the morning before she went off to work and I went out to the city and would have morning coffee with her and talk. She’s very interested in meeting new people so I felt very comfortable talking and getting to know her. She liked getting to know me too. She made me feel like an honored guest. Her house was very nice too and there were plenty of travel books or maps all around the house to give you ideas of things to do if you didn’t really have plans. She was very helpful when it came to he traveling process too. She messaged me the best route to take to the Airbnb and tips on traveling in genera like getting a Pasmo pass. It was my first time to Japan and wasn’t so used to public transportation because in California you drive everywhere so getting those tips made things a lot easier. For my first visit I really wanted to talk to the locals and she was definitely a person I enjoyed talking to a lot. Japanese hospitality is the best kind for me and I can’t wait to come back to see her again. I definitely recommend staying with Sachiko if you are traveling to Japan near Tokyo.
