My time at the Artistic the home in Tokyo was truly wonderful. Kyoko is an amazing person, full of ideas and creativity. She builds a beautiful community, focusing on wellness, gardening, and art. It's a wonderful place to pause, reflect, and contribute to something greater than ourselves. The work is very light and pleasant, and Kyoko is open to ideas and help you can provide. The location is peaceful, with close access to both nature and the city center. I had a very relaxing stay and a warm soul to share it with, and for that, I will be forever grateful to Artistic the home.

I had such a fantastic time here! Kyoko is an incredibly kind person that will inspire you so much with her artistic mind. I loved chatting with her, hanging out at coffee shops and hiking together. The work hour were very respected, mainly focussing on kitchen work, organising and the home work. I had a lot of time to focus on myself and my own creative projects. They will provide you with a cozy private room that has everything you need, so you really have a space that is just yours. I couldn't have asked for a better host and an overall better first experience. I would love to come back!🌞

Taking part in Kyoko's family homestay in Phoenix was a beautiful experience. Kyoko and her husband are both world travelers and are very knowledgeable and inspiring. They helped me learn, and grow as a person. I could have not wished for a better hosting experience. They have lottts of knowledge experience that makes them beautiful people, their kids are adorable and they have a fun family dynamic. I felt truly cared about and part of the family, I had many breakthroughs spending time with them and I will forever be grateful for the beautiful memories that we share.
