Reviews
The hosts were very charming and we loved the authentic experience. I reached out to the host the day before to confirm our event and receive specific directions to their location. They responded in a timely manner, however, I wished they would have provided that information in advance. We had to take two trains from Kyoto train station, then a local bus that picks up at 10:10am. Our journey took over 2 hours to get there and because of the bus frequency, it was impossible to arrive by 10am. It would have been nice if the host met us at the train station and if we had an option to make local foods. With that being said, overall the experience was wonderful!
