For International Guests
Experience Daily Life in a Japanese Home
Our service is a program for international guests who wish to gain a deeper understanding of life and culture in Japan by staying in an available room in the home of a senior host.
In addition to the homestay experience, we offer Japanese language support programs supervised by certified instructors who have passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test, focusing on Everyday Japanese (Seikatsu Nihongo) and Easy Japanese (Yasashii Nihongo).
Rather than being simply a place to stay, the program allows guests to share daily life with their hosts and gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, customs, and values.
What International Guests Can Experience
Authentic Daily Life in a Japanese Home
Stay in a real Japanese household and experience everyday life, including meals, shopping, and the rhythm of the local community.
Learning Japanese Culture Naturally
Through daily life with your host, you will naturally experience Japanese culture—such as everyday manners and interpersonal relationships built on mutual respect.
Meaningful Exchange with Senior Hosts
Our hosts are Japanese seniors who cherish a calm and steady lifestyle. Through relaxed conversations and sharing everyday life, you can gain a deeper appreciation of Japanese values.
The typical stay is 1 to 3 months, with a maximum of up to one year, within the period permitted by a valid visa.
Your preferred length of stay can be discussed during the preliminary interview.
