ACCOMMODATIONS
Homestay
GenkiJACS offers a unique homestay program, providing students with a genuine immersion into Japanese culture. Staying with a Japanese host family allows you to practice and enhance what you’ve learned in class in a real-life setting. This experience is invaluable in understanding the nuances of the language and culture.
Understanding the importance of compatibility, GenkiJACS takes great care in matching you with a host family that aligns with your preferences and needs. Factors such as smoking habits, allergies, and the host’s English proficiency are considered to ensure a comfortable and conducive learning environment.
The host families serve not just as accommodation providers but as mentors, guides, and friends, offering a rich, supportive backdrop for your adventure in Japan. They often become one of the most cherished connections students make during their stay. To guarantee a safe and suitable homestay experience, GenkiJACS meticulously screens all host family applicants.
Every student is guaranteed a private room, which may be styled traditionally (Japanese) or more modernly (Western). It’s important to note that during peak seasons like summer, you may share the homestay with another student. However, GenkiJACS ensures that each student has their own private space and, ideally, pairs students who do not share the same native language to encourage Japanese usage.
