Do you want to host an international student?

Some of our students have a desire of "weekend homestay", and students who plan to visit Japan during the summer break look for host families. Thus, a great number of international students relish the idea of "communication" with Japanese families. A handful of people, however, are willing to cooperate in being host families. If you live in Tokyo and are interested in hosting an international student, please let us know. Students are to bear the expenses for their stay after deliberation. Here is a chance to offer them home away from home. Sign up NOW!
