  Description

  ※We have temporarily stopped accepting applications due to receiving many inquiries. We will reopen the application process once we are ready. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation※
  
  We are a family of 4 who love traveling. My husband and I used to travel extensively in our late 20s. Now, we want to show the value of immersing ourselves in different cultures to our children. Our sons, aged 7 and 9, are both passionate about playing soccer. They also enjoy playing video games, basketball, badminton, and more. It would be nice if you can play with my sons and help me with some chores. You may have more free time when our children have school days. On the other hand, during school vacations, you may have more time to spend together with the children.
  
  As this is our first time hosting, we would like to accept stays of up to two weeks.
  
  We live in Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture. If you look it up on Google Maps, you'll see that this town doesn't have many tourist attractions. (However we have some nice parks and shops that our family enjoys☺) It takes about more than 1 hour by train to Tokyo and about 40 minutes by car to Kawagoe (a historic town). (It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the nearest station, Kitamoto Station.)
  
  Since this is our first experience, there may be some mistakes, but please understand🌺
