Absolutely amazing hosts!!! K, N, and Mr. T went out of their way at every turn to make us feel comfortable and safe on our first visit to Japan from the USA. From the immaculate cleanliness of every aspect of their homes (we stayed at the Pine house and Wahoo house, both in Katsushika) to the bottles of apple juice personally delivered at each stay, we couldn't imagine a better host. They even offered to drive us to various train stations after checking out to make getting to our next adventure easier! The homes have been completely remodeled and are incredibly beautiful examples of traditional Japanese styles. The town of Katsushika is only 30 mins by trains from the center of Tokyo, and is vibrant, friendly, fun, and quiet. If you are looking to immerse yourself in the local culture, this is an awesome way to do that! The communication is spot on, and their directions and travel tips could not have been more detailed and accurate either. It may sound like I am exaggerating, but they truly deserve every one of their stars! Highly recommend!!!
