    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You'll be able to experience daily life in a ski town in a Japanese mountain village, learn about local traditions, visit temples, and unwind in the nearby onsen (hot springs). We’ll also share our journey of moving to Japan, adapting to a new culture, and fixing up our place. It’s a great way to learn, exchange cultures, and meet others who are on similar adventures!
