    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The beach is nearby so you can meet a lot of surfers and active people. The station is within walking distance so you can do sightseeing in Tokyo on your days off. Our family also loves surfing and fishing. Let's enjoy it together. My children are also learning English, and I am learning with them. I am looking forward to speaking a lot of English and having cultural exchange.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I am renting an apartment so that you can have some private time. It is a 2DK and conveniently located. It is a 10-minute walk from Kazusa Ichinomiya Station, a 10-minute bike ride to Ichinomiya Beach, and a 5-minute bike ride to my house. We enjoy meals together on weekends, and you can also eat with our family on weekdays if you wish. It is a very attractive place for people who like surfing and are active. If you come to my house by bike in the morning, I will take my children to and from school. The nursery will be relocated from Shirako Town to Ichinomiya Town around September 2025, so after the relocation, you will commute directly to the nursery by bike. It is about a 10-minute bike ride. Please prepare your own meals. But you can eat on shift’s lunch.If you want to use Wi-Fi, please pay 3000 yen per month.
