Yukio is a fantastic, perfect host. He treated me twice to food, and was always ready to help and chat (despite me being super shy!).
His house was clean, comfortable and cozy. It’s really easy to get from this place to Tokyo, but also to other famous sightseeing spots like Kamakura, Odawara, Hakone, etc. It’s served by the Odakyu line, a cheap, efficient line that passes rather frequently. There’s a ton of buses as well! If you need anything there are shops and convenience stores (and a 100 En shop near the station as well) nearby but in case that’s not enough, you’re only about 15 minutes from Machida and its lively station area. Book Off, Karaoke, clothes and thrift stores, arcades, and even Animate and Adores are in Machida!
I’d recommend this location to first timers in Japan, because it’s really hard to get lost! And also to women, especially those traveling alone because it’s very safe and far enough from city bustling.
Thank you for everything Yukio-San and do not hesitate to book here!
