About homestay

When you homestay, it is important to respect and understand the lifestyle of the family.
Please make an effort to live comfortably by understanding yourself and the host family.
For this purpose, please have ongoing communication, and do not hesitate to ask questions to the host family.

Even if you are not comfortable with the language, you can keep active communication by drawing pictures, showing gestures, etc.

Rather than greeting the host family as a customer, let’s have a sense of “becoming part of the family.”

Please read the following notes and general rules before meeting the host family:

⸻

  1. Lifestyle of each day
    • Inform the host family when you will come home.
    • Inform the host family of your weekend schedule.
    • When you go shopping or eat out with the host family, please pay your own share. If they pay for you, be sure to say thank you.
    • To avoid worrying them, always let your host family know where you’re going and when you’ll return.
    • Avoid going out at night unless necessary. If you’ll be late or stay elsewhere, make sure to contact them.
    • Depending on the household, the host may do your laundry or you may be asked to do it yourself — please check.
    • Be quiet when the host family is sleeping.
    • Take care of your own belongings.
    • Help with cleaning, preparing meals, and tidying your room.
    • Always turn off lights when leaving a room or using the toilet.
  2. Meals
    • The host family will provide breakfast and dinner. You must arrange your own lunch.
  3. Garbage
    • In Japan, garbage is separated by type. Please ask each family how to dispose of it properly.

Examples:
• Burnable waste: tissue, food, etc.
• Non-burnable waste: lighters, glass items, etc.
• Recyclable waste: cans, bottles, paper, plastic, etc.

  1. Bath and Shower
    • Limit bath/shower time to 15 minutes.
    • Don’t leave the water running unnecessarily.
    • Wash your body before entering the bathtub.
    • Do not drain the bathtub water — others will use it after you.
    • Clean up after yourself (e.g., hair) when you leave the bathroom.
  1. Phone
    • If you want to use the host family’s phone, ask for permission first.
    • Use an international calling card to avoid charges to the family.
    • Long or late-night calls are not allowed.
  1. Others
    • Do not share the host family’s address, phone number, etc., with others.
    • Do not invite friends over without permission.
