What is a Vacation Homestay?

Haven’t you ever wanted to travel Japan, staying with friends as you go, but don’t quite yet have any friends? Our “Vacation Homestay” is the next best thing. By staying with Japanese families, you can experience the culture, customs, language and more while traveling this great country. One night stays are possible, as well as longer stays. Please ask us for more information on this excellent opportunity. We’ll try to work with your travel plans to give you a very memorable vacation!
