Who Can Join Us
We welcome the international community from families, couples, children, English teachers, and anyone eager to share & care. Our ideal guest is friendly, communicative, and willing to engage with our local community. Experience with young children is a plus, as we cherish moments spent playing and learning together. If you would like to experience living in an environment surrounded by the hills, crop fields, fresh air, sounds of bird chirping, running water streams, this is exactly for you!
Help Needed

5. Engage our children in English games to facilitate language learning and fun interactions.
6. During school breaks, additional work hours are required as we host more Japanese families. Expect increased interaction during these times.
7. DIY projects in our garden.
8. Danish language teaching (optional)
In return, I can provide free accommodation (Heater is chargeable at a fee. No aircon). I would also love to have you join us for dinner. Dinner will be provided. This is a good moment to converse and get to know each other.
