Description
Hi! My name is Mayuko. We are a family of 4, containing me, my husband Masao and our two kids who are 4 and 6. We have been hosting travelers and students studying abroad for over 20 years and speak Japanese fluently and English on an intermidiate level. I am a english teacher and have a passion for learning bits of different language and different cultures. My family is located in Sabae, Fukui prefecture, which is a town in the middle-west of Japan. The city of Sabae is part of the country side, surrounded by mountains, so if you like nature, you will be able to enjoy that here.
One or two day stays are also welcome!
We like hosting foreign people, because of our love for different cultures and languages.
We hope to see you soon.
