Staying with Junko and Hiro was a great experience. Everything was perfect. Their home is beautiful. We had a lovely room, with a refrigerator stocked with drinks and goodies, soft beds and pristine accommodations. When they said we would have a towel and shampoo, what they meant was fresh towels every morning and all the toiletries you could want! Each morning there were also fresh rolls, treats or fresh fruit to go with our coffee.
Most important were our hosts themselves. Hiro and Junko were the most gracious hosts you could imagine. They made us feel so welcome in their home. On the first day, Hiro took the time to walk us to our son's apartment complex so we wouldn't get lost! The one day it rained there were umbrellas at the ready. When we needed to do laundry, the facilities for that were great.
But the most amazing experience was the incredible feast our hosts prepared for us and our son and daughter-in-law! It was the finest meal we had in Japan!!
Their home is located in a lovely area and within a very short walk to the local train. So getting into Tokyo is no problem. And there is a great bakery on the way to the train. They are also within walking distance to some great restaurants.
Getting to know Junko and Hiro was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. If you have the chance to stay with them you should!
