True to the positive reviews he has already received, Ken was not only our Japan Superhost, but our trip's SUPERHERO!
He made one of my dreams, which was to watch a Takarazuka play (and a sold-out one, at that!) come true!! My mom and I can't express how much we appreciate his patience and kindness in answering our inquiries, and for his helpfulness all-throughout our trip.
My mom and I stayed for two weeks in his Machida apartment, which was a great immersion experience -- we ended up even more pictures of our daily village walk because the greeneries made it look so picturesque, just like it would've probably looked like in an anime!
To add, his apartment had all the amenities we needed. It also had a kitchenette. It was clean, comfortable, and complete!
After we were fetched from Shin-yurigaoka station, Ken gave us a really helpful tour of the place and his neighborhood. (He also dropped us off Shin-yurigaoka station when the day of our departure from Japan came.)
Also, the location was perfect. Our favorite stops were Uniqlo and Ohsho (restaurant near Tsurukawa station with DELICIOUS gyoza, at a very reasonable price!!)
Definitely would RECOMMEND!!! :)
Thank you so much, Ken!!! ^__^ Mata ne!
