Mikako's house is just like it was in the photos. Its very clean, tidy and modern. My room was warm and comfy. Mikako and her husband Yuji were very nice. They have done a lot of travelling and speak good English.They made me home made Japanese meals and even taught me how to make sushi and prepare green tea! They really looked after me very well and even helped me buy goodies to take home. Thank you for your hospitality Yuji and Mikako! Xx
