It was the greatest experience. It was my first time in Japan and I didn’t regret. I felt like I’m part of the family, I’m glad that I spent time with Tae san and Takashi san. I’m looking forward to the next stay.

Amazing, fabulous, wonderful, warm, genuine, fun, kind, funny, young at heart, easygoing, approachable...these are all words that describe Tae san and Takashi san and the absolutely magical experience I had with them during my 9 day stay...I travelled a lot during my Japan trip but this was by far the most memorable part of the trip, I am so glad that it was the final part of my trip because it was the ultimate best part and had I gone there at the very start of my trip and had to leave them afterwards to the other parts of my Japan trip, the other parts of my trip would have paled in comparison and I would have spent my entire trip just wishing I had stayed with them for my entire trip! Tae is an amazing cook, she taught me how to cook so many delicious authentic dishes, I doubt I can replicate what she did but if I am able to do even 50% of what she taught me, it will still taste amazing. Tae is super thoughtful, really lovely, kind and just so easy to talk to and get along with - she is curious about travelling, the world, your culture and is very open minded which makes her so fascinating and interesting to talk to. Almost instantly I felt a connection and bond to her and we often talked for ages and ages. Takashi san is also a fabulous and amazing person, he is very funny and has a really great sense of humour. Takashi san is very young at heart and fun - we all spent hours playing cards and laughing a lot, he is really warm hearted and interesting person to talk to, extremely approachable and just a very fun person to be with. There are so so many memorable moments with Tae and Takashi, one of the most special and memorable times we had together was playing a traditional Japanese card game with them and another lovely house guest who was also staying at the same time - hours of fun and laughter and jokes whilst we all tried to outdo each other to become "king". We played again on our final day night there and it was the best fun ever, we were so sad to leave and actually cried a little bit when sitting on the train afterwards to the airport, as we already missed them both!! Their home is very conveniently located and it is so easy to get to Shibuya, direct line in 19 minutes, train station is close by and a very easy walk and there is a super convenient department store right opposite the train station which has everything, a big supermarket, ice cream parlours, clothes shops and fashion on the higher floors, and around the area near the home are restaurants, cafes etc. A very lovely residential feel, not crowded like lots of other parts of Tokyo, it is a very nice environment and very convenient. I really really recommend staying with them, you will not regret it, they are really amazing hosts and the best way to describe it is, that they actually welcome you into their life. I left last month, and almost every day or every other day, I still talk to my family here about the fun I had with Tae san and Takashi san, they are still on my mind even now and I still really miss them! I can't wait to see them again!

Living with Tae-san and Takashi-san for 4.5 months was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Instead of feeling like a guest, I truly felt like I became part of their family. From Tae-san's incredible cooking to planned adventures together (matsuri, hikes, zumba classes!), I am already so sad to have left them. The location was ideal and the private room was perfect as a student. Furthermore, I feel that my Japanese has improved so much from living with them. I could write an entire novel about this precious experience and how absolutely amazing Tae and Takashi are as people. STAY WITH THEM! You won't regret it <3

多恵さんと高志さんと一緒に滞在させていただくことは一生の貴重な経験になっています。ゲストと扱われる代わりに家族の一部になっている人として扱ってくれてありがたく思っています。多恵さんの素晴らしい手作りの料理をはじめ、一緒に計画してくれた予定など（例えば：祭り、登山、ズンバ）は最高で、畔田家と離れてもう大変寂しくなりました。場所も部屋も学生として理想的でした。それに、畔田家と一緒に暮らすことのおかげで、自分の日本語能力が非常に上達していると思います。諸説が書けるほど褒め言葉が多く、多恵さんと高志さんは何よりです。ここに泊まってください！！そうすれば、絶対後悔なんかにならないからです。
ありがとうございました <3

Tae-san and her husband Takashi-san are both really nice and caring persons. I stayed two weeks with them and they recommend me a lot of places around Tokyo. If they are free they don’t hesitate to come with you to do some activites! I recommend staying with them 100%. Tae’s food is also very tasty 😍. Thank you again for everything! 🙏🙏

The Kuroda family are incredible. I am really surprised by how knowledgeable they are. They always have interesting conversations and they are interested in learning about your country, which made me really happy. The food is really good and their house is really warm and cozy. The area is really convenient too. You should only stay with the Kuroda if you really want to have a homestay experience! 😊

I enjoyed my stay of 10 days a lot: Tae-san and Takashi-san are warm and welcoming people. I was nervous at the beginning but it rapidly vanished.

I don't speak Japanese at all and they speak a bit of english. Actually they understand most of my english so we got no problem communicating. On the contrary conversations were sometimes quite funny :D due to language barrier.

They took the time to recommend a lot of places all around Japan during dinners.
Regarding the latter, I found them good and diversified.

The apartment is clean and the room private so it is an easy recommendation!

I lived with the Kuroda family for about 6 months. It was an incredibly beautiful time that I will never forget in my life. Taesan and Takashisan are two wonderful people with a huge heart. They supported me in all aspects of life during my time in Japan. The food tastes great, it is always clean and tidy and you can always count on the support of Taesan and Takashisan. I am incredibly grateful for the time I was able to spend with them and would choose a homestay with the Kuroda family again anytime.

Thank you with all my heart !

You can't go wrong with the Tae-san family.

Never did I think I will be part of the family this quickly.

They will treat you like part of their family so be ready 😄

They will take you with them when they go on their family trip, so enjoy the ride.


Tae-san is very friendly and supportive. Every time I ask questions about Japan she never hesitates and quickly tries to help me by searching for the information that I need for my trip or another way around.

Even without me asking here she will go beyond her time and effort to make things easier in every way.
My Japanese study has improved a lot thanks to her helping me every step of the way.

Also, Tae-san cooks a very healthy and delicious meal. I'll miss her food.

Takashi-san thanks for teaching me the card game, and remember you still never beat me or take number 1 position in my staying period with you 😂 thanks for all the laughs.

I'm really glad I have stayed here and met them, thanks you for all the good memories, I really appreciate your hospitality 🙏
Until we meet again またね.

Ms.Tae is a very nice person and good at cooking.
Every day I was looking forward to meals. So delicious!
She is also very friendly and lovely, you can talk or ask her anything!
Thanks a lot...

I stayed with the Kuroda family for 6 months when I first moved to Japan and it was a fantastic experience. In fact, I cannot imagine a better homestay. The family is welcoming, the food is delicious (various, homecooked meals virtually every night!), and they even include homestay guests on various family events and outings. I consider myself very lucky to have gotten this experience and it is worth every penny.

素晴らしい家族です. 強くお勧めします!

I lived there for more than one year and it was such a nice experience! This family is really nice and the food is also very delicious! I had so much fun and will never forget it! :) Thank you so much...

I stayed with Tae-san for almost 6 months when I was doing my exchange program. She’s the best homestay mum you can ask for (Takashi-san, the homestay dad is also amazing!) I still dream about her food till this day!! She’s both really chill and flexible, but extremely hospitable. They’re the funniest and coolest homestay family around. My favourite memory is drinking coffee made by Takashi-san and chatting with them about everything and anything. I improved my japanese so much with them. The room was also very comfortable and I had everything I needed. Can’t recommend them enough!!!
