Home Visit Program What is a Home Visit Like?

Do you have plans to visit Japan, and want a chance to meet a Japanese family and while you are there, or already have a place to stay in Japan and can’t do a homestay? We have the perfect thing for you _ the "Home Visit Program"! It's a unique and fun opportunity to spend some quality time with the natives of this great country.

	No time? No problem! -- A Home Visit is great for people who are too busy or donﾕt have enough time for a full homestay but still want to visit and meet with a Japanese family.
	Japanﾕs culture is a lot different that you may expect! Talking with a family gives you an important perspective on the culture and customs.
	Use your Japanese! ﾐ Talking to store clerks is fun and all, but how about a chance to use your skills in an actual home situation?

What Happens Before the Home Visit?

-- The steps from application to the visit itself! --

Step 1: Counseling _ We will talk about the Home Visit experience and ask you some
questions to make sure it’s right for you.
Step 2: Applying for the Home Visit

・ Next, you fill out the application and related forms.
・ Next, we send you the invoice (it has all the cost related details.)
・ Last, you deposit the fees -- around 2 to 4 weeks before your visit.
Step 3: Your Home Visit Family is Decided
・ Your family will be decided around 1 to 2 weeks before your visit.
・ We will tell you about your family _ family members, location, etc.
