    Description

    We are looking for travelers to join us in my shared house!
    In my house, my family, three friends, and a cat live together.

    We welcome families and friends to spend time with us. We have a 1-year-old child, and we would love for you to teach them languages and cultures different from Japanese. Since we both work full-time and have busy schedules, please feel free to enjoy your free time.

    The volunteer time will be very limited. In exchange, we won't provide meals.

    ※I apologize, but I'm currently receiving a lot of messages and may not be able to reply to all of them promptly. Priority is given to those who are particularly interested in Okinawan culture. Thank you for your understanding.
