We wished we had more time to spend with Kotaro and Kei-san! We only had 2 short days but made some great memories that will last a lifetime. They are both thoughtful and attentive to us as thier guests and made sure we were well looked after. They even brought us an umbrella when they thought it might rain in the afternoon while we were out shopping! Kei-san is a wonderful cook and her 'simple' dinner was delicious. Our visit to the mountain area of Hakone was a delightful unplanned day of eating, shopping and enjoying the beautiful Japanese countryside in the fine company of our hosts and thier friend. We're very grateful for Kotaro-san's endurance in driving the 4 hour winding uphill marathon to the hotsprings. The views of mount Fuji we're awesome! We finished the day with a long relaxing soak in a tranquil mountain onsen. Pure bliss! As a couple they are lovely and very fun to be around. We really enjoyed our conversations and the stories they had to tell. Great people and a very clean and nice room. Highly recommended.
