Description
Hello. My name is Takashi.
I live on Amami Oshima, a World Heritage island in Japan.
I live with my wife and two-year-old daughter.
Amami Oshima is surrounded by beautiful ocean and mountains rich in nature.
Unlike Okinawa, there are not many people.
We enjoy marine sports.
Would you like to experience a relaxed life on a World Heritage island?
We are looking forward to cultural and linguistic exchange with people from all over the world.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
It is a small island in Japan where you can relax.
It is very comfortable to spend time slowly while watching the sea.
Recommended for those who like nature.
The supermarket is 40 minutes by car, so transportation is not good.
I am renovating an old Japanese house.
I have a lot of knowledge about DIY. I would like to share your knowledge and techniques with you.
I will provide Japanese food from time to time.

Please bring work clothes in addition to your indoor clothes.
Let's decide on meals together.
We would like to experience your food culture.

It was my first time on Amami Island, and it was just splendid.
The family welcomed us so well, maybe even too much. I don't know how to express my gratitude for everything you've done, allowing us to have such a great time.
