Take your Japanese learning beyond the classroom with the Weekend Homestay Experience. Spend a weekend living with a welcoming Japanese host family and discover everyday life, traditions, and culture from a local perspective. It's the perfect opportunity to practise your Japanese in real conversations while creating lasting memories and meaningful connections.
Whether you're studying at GenkiJACS for just one week or several months, this experience allows you to step away from the city and enjoy authentic Japanese family life.
The Weekend Homestay Experience is open to students of all ages enrolled at GenkiJACS.
To allow enough time to match you with a suitable host family, please submit your application form and required information at least six weeks before your preferred weekend.
