Teachers looking for homestay options for their students should consider this superb opportunity located approximately 45 minutes north of Kyoto on the JR Line. Sold as an ‘add-on’ to your itinerary, this 3-day/ 2-night experience provides students with the opportunity to experience life with a Japanese family, and participate in cultural and sporting activities with the local schoolchildren in Ayabe. It is a common theme of our Japan tour feedback from students that the homestay is the highlight of their tour, and often wish they could spend more time with their host families. The homestay add-on includes 2-nights homestay with a Japanese family, 3 meals per day and a school exchange
This homestay program is also available as a 4-day/3-night program. The 4-day program includes an excursion to Kurotani to witness the making of handmade washi paper, a process unchanged over 400 years.
