ACCOMMODATION Host family The school has carefully selected a network of host families ready to welcome international students. You will be hosted in a single room with half board during the week and full board at the weekend. Japanese culture places great importance on hospitality. When a family receives someone, they do it well and genuinely care about their guest’s well being. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you’re asked to return home at a specific time each evening! The families mainly live in the residential areas of Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama, around an hour’s journey from the school, which is a good average considering Tokyo’s size.
