The opportunity to stay with a Japanese host family is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the culture, and practice at "home" what you learned at school that day.
When arranging a host family for you, we try to take into account any needs or preferences you may have, such as smoker or non-smoker, allergies, English ability, and so on. Your host family can act as guides and mentors, friends and companions, and a wonderful resource in your adventure in Japan. They are likely to be the people you become closest to during your stay, which is why we perform a thorough screening of all host family applicants, to ensure that they can provide a suitable environment to assist your learning and to allow you to fully experience Japan.
You are guaranteed to have your own private room, which may be either Japanese or Western style.
Note that in summer and other busy periods, you may be asked to stay in a homestay at the same time as other students. You will still have a private room, and we do our best to make sure that the other student does not speak the same native language as you.
