Host Family
Living with a local host family is one of the best ways to truly experience the Japanese language and culture. We carefully select and visit all families regularly to make sure they're maintaining quality standards and we make sure to only choose families with a genuine interest in international exchange. Many families live near the school and the commute is usually no more than 20 - 40 minutes.

Important info about Japanese Homestays: Japanese home-life can be very different to North American customs. We recommend that students be open-minded and try to experience Japanese life. For example, you may be expected to sleep on a futon on the floor. Bathing: you are expected to wash your body before entering the bathtub. Breakfast: This could consist of rice and miso soup. It is crucial that you are respectful and embrace the differences that you experience, but you can be open and honest with your family about your dietary requirements/comfort levels, etc.
