  Description

  Hello! We are an American family based in Gunma, Japan. We have twin toddlers and are excited to welcome responsible travelers who can join us to help with various household chores: cleaning, cooking, childcare and yardwork. We don't have much free time these days, but still do our best to find time to cook meals, go on bike rides, and explore local hiking trails. It's always a joy to get to share our family experiences with travelers from all over the world.
  
  Currently, we are seeking a traveler who can bring Mandarin language into our home. We prefer travelers who are looking to stay in Kiryu for 1-3 months (Mar - Jun 2026)
  
  We will only consider non-smoking/non-vaping volunteers. When you reach out to us, please confirm that you do not smoke or vape.
