TIP # 15 Home Stays
The best part of my first visit to Japan with the Japan Fulbright Program included a home stay.
I learned more from that one experience than can be measured in words. On my next trip Akiko found the Tanaka family in Asuka Village near Nara. Akiko Murakami, now a Nara Tour Guide arranged for me to stay with Tanaka-san use her home stay as a base. From there I went to Hiroshima for two days, and later to Niimi Okayama to find my mothers ancestors.
Kyoto to Nara: 45 min.
Nara to Asuka: 54 min.
