The big two-family house I can offer my guests is my parents' house with 10 empty rooms. However, my father is deceased and my mother is in a special nursing house, so I use it as my office and homestay. It takes 7 minutes on foot from Sengendai Station at which the express train stop for you to go to the central Tokyo. It takes about 30 minutes by a train to Kitasenju in Tokyo. It is very convenient house nearby a post office, shopping stores, a hospital, schools and so on. The first floor has a reception room, living room, and main kitchen. On the second floor, there are four guest rooms, a bathroom, a toilet, and a multipurpose room (mini-kitchen, laundry room, washroom, snack room). The third floor has three guest rooms and a spare room in the attic, which can be booked. I have experience of homestaying in foreign countries such as the United States, Switzerland, Germany and the United Kingdom. There, I was received a warm homestay hospitality, and this time I started homestay as a host because I wanted to help foreigners who are interested in Japan. After retiring from work, I studied abroad in the UK for 2 years and returned back to Japan. Now I am a lecturer to teach Japanese online and at a university, so especially those guest who want to learn Japanese language and culture or international students who plan to study at the Japanese university are welcome.

- Rooms 301 (2 beds) and 302 (2 beds) are for families, but please note that if separate guests are using the rooms, guests in room 301 will need to enter and exit through room 302.
- The 3rd floor attic has no passageway leading to the 4 rooms. So, Room301 and Room305 can be locked and privacy is protected, but Room302 is cheaper because Room301’s guest pass through it. Each room can be locked without rooms of Room302, Room303 and Room304. When going out, if you need the key to the front door and your room, a deposit fee of 5,000 yen will be collected and returned when you leave.
- (04) Our house is protected by the security system for guests, such as emergency rescue, fire alarms, and security guards for house intrusions. Since it is guarded from 22:00 to 7:00 in the morning, we ask guests to self-report on the activity schedule when returning home after 22:00. Guests may use the bathroom and washing machine from 7:00 to 22:00, respecting the sleeping hours of others.

In accordance with the SDG's policy of saving energy resources, my house uses solar power to generate, consume, and sell electricity, and uses solar power to heat cold water without consuming gas.
