We loved our stay at the Zen-lodge by K Family and this is undoubtedly our best Airbnb experience. We highly recommend this Airbnb! The hospitality of the hosts was beyond what we have expected. The hosts, the Kawano family, treat you as a part of their family. There are so many things to love about our stay:
-We loved that Koji-san and Mr. T picked us up at Aoto Station with their van and car so that you don’t have to drag you luggages from the station to their house. That is a such a relief if you’re a big group like us and a service like that really makes a difference. They also drove us back to the station after our check out.
-We loved how Nami-san drove and helped us pick groceries on our first day of stay! She was helping translating stuff for us and where to look for grocery items. That kind gesture was beyond what we expected from their already warm hospitality.
-We love how they are so responsive and proactive with their communication. If you have any questions or issues, you’ll surely get a reply the soonest and have it resolved. They also check up on us on where we'll be going and they'll give you tips and guide on how to ride the train. They would even offer us to be driven to the station.
-The house is AMAZING! It’s very spacious (we are a group of 8) and there’s plenty of space for luggages for each room. Each room has a private toilet which is such a convenience.
-The kitchen is equipped with the basic necessities if you would like to cook. The bathrooms and showers are clean and they provide you with fresh towels every day. There is also a washer and dryer downstairs. The WIFI is fast and connection is stable that I was able to do remote work.
-The beds are very comfortable though the pillows might be a bother for some other people (you can always request extras). They provide you with bottled water and welcome you with delicious fruits. The house is just a short walk from the station, grocery stores, convenience stores and etc.
-Bikes are available to use if you want to stroll around the area. If you’re tired of drinking water, there is a vending machine outside the house.
-We have no complaints other than Koji-san making fun of my Japanese accent (I'm a terrible Japanese speaker btw). 🤣
We can’t wait to stay here again on our next visit in Tokyo.
