Kei & Kotaro are the perfect hosts. They obviously love meeting people & are happy to share their observations of their rich and interesting culture. Kotaro took our bags from and to the station and Kei made a beautiful meal for us on our first night with them. She also prepared a delicious breakfast each day, which is not something we experienced in other places we stayed. Their place is warm and cozy & we felt very much at home there. We enjoyed meeting Kero too. She's a much loved pet. We can't recommend their place highly enough. Their beautiful personalities make it so wonderful.
