Descripción
Hi, we have a community space with lots of interesting people and need someone to help out with language and cultural exchange. It's about 2 hours a day, or 10 hours a week. In exchange, we can offer accommodation in a private room, or share a room if there are two of you. Meals are your responsibility (there is a kitchen, fridge etc for your use). The house is on the water at Hinase, Okayama. It is a three-story building, 5 minutes walk from Hinase Station. We're very flexible and casual.

You can see life in a smallish city in Japan and learn some Japanese from the locals. Hinase is a different side of Japan than the big cities, so the cultural experience is much more authentic.

I’ve had only small tasks like teaching English and cleaning things. these took within a few hours, so you’ll have a plenty of time for hanging out to fish markets or staying at own private room!
I’m glad to have chosen to stay there! Highly recommend!!
We had some awesome weekly cooking competitions and everyone is super easy going.
You get a nice room, in walking distance to everything you need and then people you are teaching are all kind and open minded.
Some of them even took me out on a day trip.
