  We are a family of four, but there are 3 of us in Hiroshima with the younger son living in Kyoto for university. The mom started learning English a few years back, looking for chance to use the language as she become better at basic grammar (if you are interested in gardening and stuff, we can also work in our garden together!!). It doesn't have to be a native speaker, more importantly, someone with cheerful and kind heart is preferred!! Also, you are learning Japanese, we'd love to teach Japanese, too!
  
  We are all open-minded and nice people and excited for having you as a new member of this family! You will be expected to teach English around 1 hour per day. You can do whatever floats your boat for the rest of the day ;)
  
  The nearest station is JR Michinoue station, 10 minutes away by bicycle and there will be a bicycle always available to you. You can go to the city center by 20 train ride with 240 yen. We also love to go on a one day trip together on weekends as well!
  
  There will be 3 home-cooked meal provided per day and you will have your own Tatami room (Japanese style room)
  We can also cook vegan/vegetarian menu, having hosted 2 vegans of the younger son's friends before and they love it!!
  
  Thank you for reading through until the end! We are looking forward to seeing you!
  
  Best regards
  Hashimoto Misa (Mom), Hideji(Dad), Shuji( Elder son), Takaya( younger son)
