How can we rate an experience as enriching and incredible as our stay with Kan and Shoko? There would need to be ten stars to be true to our experience! The home is absolutely beautiful. A truly inspirational designed Japanese house built to perfection. Not your typical square box but still a private stand alone house. The setting is perfect if you are looking for an escape from the city but is still just a short walk to the station and close to all the tourist attractions. There are extra touches of airbnb love everywhere- flowers and plants in vases, Chalk board for guest to leave messages, tastes of fruit from the neighbors tree, and occasionally exchange greetings with friendly neighbors. We felt deep in Japan and could live like locals in the middle of the city. This is a really special community to be a part of. They left very clear maps and directions for everything we needed. This experience to us was everything we want from travel. Kan and Shoko are really special people offering a truly unique experience.
