  • Tokyo

  • These are the sites you often see of Tokyo

  • However

  • There is one thing you just can't miss if you want to see the real Tokyo

  • Meeting the people.

  • Come visit us when you come to Japan

  • We want to welcome you to our homes

  • Meet our friends and family

  • and share our lives with you

  • Experience Tokyo like a local

  • See you in Tokyo!

  • If I was traveling somewhere I would definitely want to learn how the locals live.

  • Your travel destination will become more than just a location

  • but a memory where you had a nice time with a friend.

  • Because of this I want those visiting Tokyo to enjoy Tokyo as I do as a local.

  • I do love traveling.

  • I felt it would be interesting to talk about traveling with visitors coming to my home from all around the world.

  • It is easy to have a great time especially when you are having a conversation over food.

  • I truly hope visitors will enjoy my home cooking.

  • It's always interesting to see when guests are surprised that our restroom and bathroom are separate,

  • or that we have storage space under our floors.

  • It's a great opportunity for us to learn about other cultures of course

  • but also to learn more about ourselves too through conversation.

  • We've had past guests visit us again when they came back to Japan,

  • and we've also met others in their home country when we went to visit.

  • We always hope to become friends with you.

  • Everyone in our family wants our guests to see the inside of Japan not shown in guidebooks.

  • We want to talk about lands and culture, guest and us, each other.

  • It is very fun and we think time is running so fast.

  • We live 50 mins by train from Tokyo Station.

  • Our home is an old farm house,

  • you can see various aspects of a traditional Japanese home

  • like a Buddhist and Shinto altar, and tatami floors.

  • If you love rice, we would love you to taste our home grown rice,

  • our mother's homemade tempura, and our next door neighbor's famous Japanese-style potato salad

  • Not just our family but even our neighbors all hope you enjoy your time in Japan.

  • You'll get to see our apartment's automated parking garage,

  • tatami mat floors, where we keep our futons and such.

  • The experience may be small but very rich and full of various aspects of the real Japan.

  • We hope to keep in touch with all our guests.

  • Remember you are always welcome in Tokyo!
