  Descripción

  Hello! We are a Japanese family of four with two young daughters, looking for someone who enjoys spending time with children and experiencing everyday life in Japan.
  
  Both parents have lived abroad, and we love meeting people from different cultures.
  
  Our daughters are learning English, and we hope to welcome someone who can speak English with them naturally through play, reading, creative activities, and daily conversations.
  
  We have hosted au pairs before and hope you will feel comfortable, relaxed, and truly at home with us.
  
  Meals are provided, and we usually enjoy dinner together as a family. We also love sharing food and learning about different cultures.
  
  Electric bicycles are available for exploring the area.
  
  Our Location
  We live in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, a beautiful town surrounded by forests and mountains, about one hour from Tokyo by Shinkansen.
  
  Karuizawa is known for its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful changing seasons.
  
  We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys nature, countryside living, and a slower pace of life.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We hope you will feel like part of our family rather than just a guest. We enjoy sharing meals, conversations, and everyday experiences, and you are welcome to join us for family outings, seasonal festivals, and occasional trips.
  
  We love traveling, outdoor activities, and winter sports such as ice skating and skiing. Living in Nagano offers great opportunities to enjoy nature and seasonal activities throughout the year.
  
  During your stay, you can experience everyday Japanese family life, learn about Japanese customs and traditions, enjoy home-cooked Japanese food, and practice Japanese through daily conversations.
  
  Both parents have lived abroad, so we understand how meaningful cultural exchange can be. We would also love to learn about your home country, traditions, food, and interests.
  
  We hope to share our hobbies, discover new experiences together, and create wonderful memories through this cultural exchange.

  Alojamiento

  You will have your own furnished private room, providing a comfortable space to relax and enjoy your privacy. The kitchen and bathroom are shared with the family.
  
  We provide three meals a day. Breakfast and lunch are flexible, and you are welcome to prepare your own meals using the food and ingredients available at home.
  
  We usually cook dinner for the family and enjoy eating together. Sharing meals is an important part of our cultural exchange, and we hope you will enjoy trying Japanese home-cooked food.
  
  Please note that we are unable to accommodate special dietary requirements, including vegetarian or vegan diets, so this opportunity is best suited to someone who can enjoy the same meals as our family.
