Yoshio made our experience in Tokyo wonderful. He picked us up at the subway station and then showed us around Ueno. He helped us translate and order at a fantastic sumibiyaki restaurant nearby. He made sure we knew where everything was and how to use everything in his house. It felt like we were at home. He gave us advice about places to go. He was our guide and our friend. Through these and many more activities, Yoshio went above and beyond as a host. I would highly recommend staying with Yoshio in his beautiful house. I hope I get the opportunity to visit again.
