Tomoyuki and his family is a great example of the Japanese Omotenashi culture! Tom brought us to a famous local Soba shop for dinner; Soba is popular in Tachikawa because of the availability of clear source of water in the area. We had a good conversation and enjoyed their company. Maki was really kind and sweet as she prepared breakfast the next day with personalised notes on the hard boil eggs. Not to mention his two sons were simply adorable, they were shy but cheeky at the same time. The room was about 10m square separated from Tomoyuki's home, which provides good privacy and great for light travellers.
