I don’t know where to start with my short but extremely memorable stay.
It was my first stop on my first trip to Asia — let alone Japan— and I could not have imagined such a warm welcome after such a long journey. Shinobu and her friends were the perfect introduction to the wonderful city of Tokyo and beyond. Shinobu, Thank you so much for sharing this gem you have created for travelers. Your friend, Aaron.

FANTASTIC ! Our shelpa is friendly, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Tokyo. She even helped me recover a bag I left on the Keisei Skyliner train from Narita Airport to Tokyo!

Incredible service. They are very friendly and willing to give advice how to enjoy my stay. Their hospitality helped me acclimate to Japan, where the culture difference and dense city life can be a challenge for those from the other side of the world. It means a lot.
