A very memorable one-week-stay! Hotaka is really a gentle and bright host, with a house full of flowers and lovely Japanese furniture. Personally I really like this kind of Japanese lifestyle. I remember wearing kimono and dancing together in the early morning, having dinner together like a family in the evening, talking and laughing after dinner. The house is surrounded by a very quiet neighborhood, and the sunset over tama lake is beautiful and marvelous. Thank you for the nice accommodation and looking forward to the next meeting!
