MatthiasĀ·5Ā·May. 2025Ā·Ā "I had a wonderful stay at Jonni's place, his house is very beautiful in a quiet area and Jonni is so friendly and helpful and I really liked his british humour. So nice, that he picked me up at the train station and also brought me back. I can highly recommend. Thanks Jonni for a nice stay."

BenjaminĀ·4Ā·Apr. 2026Ā·Ā "Hiroki is an outstanding, friendly and helpful host. I only put 2 stars for location because it is a out of the way (and it is very clean, just a bit cluttered and cramped, but that is Japan), but the price is a bargain. Hiroki goes out of his way to be friendly and helpful."
