Friend 1's Review: Seiichi and Keiko Ito were amazing hosts. The room was a wonderful tatami room with comfortable futons and a large window. They recommend closing the sliding doors by the window so that people aren’t disturbed at night but I warn you, you better set an alarm if you wanna get up. My friend, Divina, and I slept in many times, not knowing that it was morning or even the afternoon! The house is a lovely place in Koiwa, with nearby convenience stores and a police station just around the corner. The place is very close by to a couple of train stations, 10 min walk away from the JR Line and a 8 min walk away from the Keisei line. We tended to use the JR Line since it hit more major areas like Harajuku, Shinjuku, and Akihabara. The house itself was a great place to live in. The bathroom is spacious, the dining area is a great place to relax in, and they allow you access to a lot of things, such as tea and snacks. Seiichi and Keiko themselves are wonderful people. They speak Japanese, French and English. They’re very kind and caring people. When I got sick during my trip and they offered me medicine and food that wouldn’t hurt my throat since I had a painful sore throat. Seiichi is also an amazing cook (he should really open his own restaurant). If you get the chance, definitely try to spend dinner with them one night. You won’t regret it! If I ever get the chance to go back to Japan, I definitely will go back and book again with these lovely people. Never had I ever felt so welcomed and it definitely made a difference in my stay there. I will always recommend staying with Seiichi and Keiko and I will always look forward to seeing them again when I go back again. Friend #2's Review: My friend Maggie and I stayed with Seiichi and Keiko for a little over three weeks. Theyre a great couple who will go above and beyond to help your stay in Japan be more enjoyable. Maggie and I got sick during our stay and they were kind enough to help us get better. They have a two story house but you only use the first floor, since Seiichi and Keiko live there as well. The room is a japanese style tatami room with sliding shoji doors and a small room to hang out in. When all the sliding doors are closed, its dark. And I caution you to have one of the doors open to let sunlight in, if you plan on waking up early. Maggie and I have slept in a couple of times because we thought it was still dark outside.. They have dinner every night at 8, but Seiichi will go out to the market at about 6 pm and cook once he gets home. I recommend eating dinner with them at least once,...
