Welcome to our lovely little home in Yokohama, Japan! We're so happy you are interested in staying with us! Whether you're a student coming to study in Japan or checking an item off your bucket list, we're excited to have you. And we hope we can help you achieve your goals and maximize your enjoyment.
Unwind in our bright and comfortable guest room. This room is quite flexible! It has Japanese shudders that can be close to make the room pretty dark even on the brightest days. Great for recovering from jet lag! Speaking of bright days, the room lets in a lot of light, and a view of your very own white rose garden. (overstated LOL) The bed can be used as a western style bed with an actual mattress, or as a tatami platform and futon for the "ryokan" or traditional Japanese sleeping experience. There's also a desk at which you can either sit or stand (adjustable height). You'll have your own climate control as well. There's also room in the closet for you, with drawers and hanging space - as well as lots of room under the bed for luggage and things. You might even forget you're traveling (at least while home)!
Yokohama is a city that not so many people outside Japan talk about. Maybe you know about the tires? But in reality, it's Japan's 2nd largest city! It has pretty much everything Tokyo has, but is nicer, has a little more space, and a little less densely populated. And yet, Tokyo is only a train city train ride away. Go for some site-seeing, a night on the town, and come back to your getaway.
As your hosts, Shino and Shawn are dedicated to making your visit special. We invite you to treat our home as your own – feel free to use the kitchen, store groceries in the fridge, relax with TV in the living room, or use the dining table as a workspace. Expect a personal touch, helpful advice, and a genuinely warm welcome.
