Foreign Nationals

Homestay

This is a unique opportunity for foreign nationals to deepen their understanding of Japan and exchange with its people by living with a Japanese family. As a rule, the length of homestays is one week or less.

Home Visit

Through this occasion, foreign nationals will further deepen their understanding of Japan and its culture by visiting and interacting with a Japanese family. As a rule, the visit should be arranged for two to three hours, avoiding lunch and dinner times.

Please Note

• Please keep in mind that this is a program to promote cross cultural interaction and goodwill exchange between foreign nationals and Japanese families, and hence cannot be used for the purpose of receiving free accommodation and/or meals. The host families can offer accommodation and meals at home free of charge on a volunteer basis. The participants, however, are responsible for their personal expenses such as transportation, telephone, sightseeing costs, and so forth.
• In the unlikely event of an accident during the homestay/home visit period, neither the Fukuoka International Association nor the host family will bear any responsibility.
