AUTHENTIC CULTURAL TEACHERS
A homestay in Japan is a form of accommodation where visitors live with a local Japanese family, allowing them to experience the culture, cuisine, and daily life of Japan firsthand. This arrangement can vary in length from a single night to several months and often includes home-cooked meals and opportunities for cultural exchange.
You are immersed in Japanese culture, home cooked cuisine and daily life. An excellent chance to practice the language. Truly, an authentic experience compared to hotels for those seeking a deeper connection to the real Japan.
My favorite homestay is in Asuka Village, South of Kyoto and Nara. I reccomend starting here by sending an email to: yt_asuka@ybb.ne.jp
You'll be staying with Takako/Yuji Tanaka, MegumiShin-ichi, Yui and Nagi Matsukawa.
They made reservations for my 3 day field trip to Hiroshima, and printed in Japanese, an introductory letter explaining my quest to find my mother's 2nd cousins. (1 found over 50)!
