We are travelling as a family this summer. How could we do a homestay/exchange for a day? Should I contact folks in charge of sister city relations? Or do you have other suggestions? We have two teenaged daughters; we'd like to meet another family. on Japan on 43 Places

hrm, I would suggest talking with the sister city people because I’m sure they can arrange something for you. I know when I had some friends do homestay, they had someone from the Japanese government arrange it.

Sorry if that wasn’t too much help.
