I want a host family in japan...?

Question

me and a friend are going to japan by ourselves instead of the usual senior trip wen we graduate high school... we want the FULL ON experience in japan...so we want to stay with a family...is there a way to find one willing to do it?

Answer 1

well you usually have to go through a company, or ask a family you know,  but, does the city you live in have a sister city relationship with a city in japan? if so, you could contact your city council and ask.. or if your school knows　a school in japan, they might be able to organise something for you.

also, i was looking through the Nara city website, and they do free hostfamily stays in Nara city for one week, here is the website

if you were looking at living in another city (like tokyo) for your trip, you could try looking to see if the city council there offer a similar program,  I think they prably would!!

I stayed with a hostfamily two years ago and it was the best experience ever! so good luck!

There are many Japanese offering accommodation and family life on the Homestay Web. I will be staying in Tokyo November this year.
