Homestay Program What is a Homestay Like?

Staying in a Japanese home will give you a chance to learn about the culture, language and customs from an angle not seen from the outside. It can be tough to make Japanese friends and acquaintances while studying in Japan without a chance to "get your foot in the door" (or kikkake as they say here), so wouldn't you love the chance to make your own home away from home in Japan?

	Improve your Japanese ﾐ Use it or lose it! A homestay is the perfect chance to use the Japanese you learned in class every day in real life situations.
	Experience a bit of ﾒeveryday lifeﾓ in Japan ﾐ Japanﾕs culture is lot different than you may expect! A homestay will give you a new perspective on the country and people.
	Make a home away from home ﾐ Make friendships you will treasure for life!
