Kotaro and Kei are the best hosts I ever had. They are very warm, genuine, welcoming and extremely helpful. Besides picking us up at the station, they brought us to the summer festival where we all had a lot of fun watching fireworks and snacking together!!! Kei even helped us with yukatas and allowed us to thoroughly immerse in the Japanese culture. Kei's breakfast is amazingly good (it's no wonder why kotaro has 2 breakfasts sometimes!!). We also had a lot of fun learning Japanese dishes from Kei and are looking forward to learn more about baking from kei!!!!! Kotaro also has the nicest pottery and we had an enjoyable time admiring them over dinner.

Their place is located in a very serene and peaceful district, a very nice change from the hustle and bustle. Nonetheless, it is very convenient and only a few train stops away from the places you need to go as a tourist. There's many restaurants, a few that opens 24hrs, and a supermarket nearby. Amenities wise, You have nothing to complain about.

Their house is homely and cosy. It is also very clean, especially the toilet. I felt very at ease and at home.

In gist, I really love kotaro and kei and they were a huge part to why I enjoyed tokyo so much! I can't wait to go back to tokyo (or maybe fukoka? :D) and visit/stay with them again. Next time, I hope I can stay longer so that we can spend more time together!!!! :))
