Mrs. Nakamura was very communicative, helpful, and extremely generous providing delayed check out. The check in process went very smoothly, with photos of the hotel and street numbers making it especially for foreigners. The hotel was a short 10 minute taxi ride from Makuhari Messe convention center making it convenient. She did offer two bicycles as well. The neighborhood is very quiet, making it easy to get a good nights rest. Overall highly recommended!
Our family of 7 enjoyed our one month stay at Mrs. Sakura's house in Narashino. We created many wonderful, lifelong memories during our time and had fun visiting nearby Chiba, Tokyo and Yokohama. Mrs. Sakura was an excellent host and the property was very clean and comfortable for our large group. Highly recommend, 5 stars all around!
We arrived at this property our first time in Japan. The House was large and comfortable. The host was kind enough to provide detailed instructions and pictures for arrival.
Please note these instructions especially if you are arriving in the evening! Our taxi did not know where to drop us off. The house is the inner of two buildings.
The host was very kind and helped us with taxis, directions, and restaurant suggestions in Chiba. It was a wonderful way to be introduced to Japan.
Thank you again!
Sakura Akane was wonderful. Communicative, exceptional, helpful. Everything you want out of a host. She kept us up to date with weather trends, supplied umbrellas and provided my son two energy banks for the stay. She also linked our group to a chauffer and handled the scheduling needs on our behalf. She contacted Studio Ghibli for us to find tickets. With Sakura Akane, rest assured your stay will be delightful. The property itself is a cab ride away from Makuharihongo station or a 23-26 minute walk. The only short comings were the distance from the train station and no tv in the rental property. However, while exploring Japan television should be the last thing on people's minds.
Comfortable and quiet with nearby public transportation
Comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood only 10 minute walk from several bus stops or 25 minutes walk to two main train stations. Was a great place to stay and take the train into the city. Hostess was very accommodating and informative about the trash/recycling process in the area. Worked well for my group of 6.
