3 Hours Short Homestay (Home Visit): Experience the Real Japanese Life

【New release at a special price】
Welcome to Tokyo, Japan!
We hope you enjoy some of nice experiences or tours, and stay at a comfortable rooms in Japan.

Anyway, aren't you interested in "homestay" (home visit)?
Instead of spending the night in our home, but you spend just three hours together during the day.

And would you try experiencing our real daily life, and talking with us about what you are interested in?

The basic pattern of experiences is as follows.
1. Meeting at a station, and taking a walk
2. Going on a shopping at a local supermarket, or small groceries
3. Cooking typical Japanese home-style dishes together (If there is any food you do not want to eat, please let us know when you make the reservation)
4. Eating together, drinking Japanese tea or something

However, if you are not interested in cooking, you can have a meal together at a restaurant that Japanese people usually use.

And in fact, many Japanese do not usually visit shrines and temples frequently, but instead have other ways to spend their time.
We spend our time relaxing in the park or visiting cats that live in the neighborhood. If you are interested in these activities, we can go with you.

Duration: 3 hours
Location, Instructor: Anyway, each host's house is about 1 hour from the center of Tokyo.
In fact, many people who work in Tokyo live in areas that are doughnut-shaped relative to the center of Tokyo.
The host for the day will be decided at the last minute. We will inform you of the station where we will meet a few days before the event.

Host1: Michiko
As a certified Japanese organic food sommelier, I have been offering a variety of events, for over 20 years.
Following the footsteps of my father who was a prominent movie poster artist, I've been involved in creating numerous movie posters as a graphic designer.
A snug house located in the seaside town of Chigasaki, Kanagawa prefecture, is where your experience will take place. It will only take you about an hour from Tokyo station.
The standard menu will include, Sushi rolls, Miso soup.

Host2:Yuri
My husband is a Buddhist priest.
We live in a small temple in Taito Ward, Tokyo, where there is a concentration of Buddhist temples.
Of course, you can also visit Buddhist temples.
For this reason, dishes are prepared together with Buddhist vegetarian dishes. If you want, you can also make and drink Matcha.

Host3: Cindy
In my youth, I have worked for numerous large Japanese companies. I now live in Kawaguchi City, in a typical modern house in Japan, with my cat. We go with you to check on the cats that live in the neighborhood, as it is routine to check on them.
You can cook together at home, or I recommend going out to eat together at one of my regular restaurants. Or we can cook and eat together at home and go out for tea.
