Kaori's hospitality is amazing! I thought we would be off to a bad start when we took the wrong train in and got in late, yet she met us after midnight in the rain to show us how to get to the apartment. Her cafe is adorable and we ate breakfast with her most mornings there but she was wonderful at accommodating our needs and schedule. While there, we met her bright young son and some artist friends and even got to join an impromptu party which was a blast for my partner and I. We had memories that I will never forget. The house is one extra train ride off the Yamamoto train line but once we got the hang of it we were in the perfect spot to rest in between adventures in Tokyo. I will never forget our stay with kaori and the warm welcome from her, her family, and friends. We stayed five days and it was wonderful to meet such wonderful people. The only downside is that the tub is very tiny and I'm a big woman but eventually I learned to bathe. The bed is comfortable and the food... Was simply delicious! Thank you, kaori! I can't wait to come back! Super host hospitality by far!!
