I don't know what I would have done without Kotaro and Kei on my first trip to Japan. They have hands down made this trip for me and saved it from complete disaster letting me come back and stay again. The communication between them is so helpful and they explained how to get to the train station really well and because I arrived late at night they met me at the station and walked with me to their place. The house is very cosy with a great shower. We went out to lots of different places to eat and spent the first day together getting the swig of things inc. getting the JR rail pass exchanged.
Kotaro and Kei are always so friendly and won't hesitate to help you if you need something or require help with directions somewhere. I couldn't imagine missing out on this experience by staying in a hotel the whole time. :-)
Thank you so much Kotaro and Kei!!!
