Description
Hello! We are an American family who have been living in Gunma, Japan for 5+ years. We have twin toddlers and are excited to welcome responsible travelers who can join us to help with various household chores, 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 unique cultural experiences with travelers from all over the world.
Currently, we are seeking a traveler who can bring Mandarin language into our home. We are available to host from Sept 12 - Dec 10, 2025. We prefer travelers who are looking to stay in Kiryu for 1-3 months.
We will only consider non-smoking/non-vaping volunteers. When you reach out to us, please confirm that you do not smoke or vape.

We speak a few languages around the house and are more than happy to share our international experiences, foods, and languages with you.
Hébergement
Our family lives in a 3BR house. You will stay in a room on 2nd floor. You will either have a private room, or in some cases, share it with one other person.
