About the Host

Highlights

Visit the home of a local host in Tokyo and experience everyday Japanese life on this short homestay of about 3.5 hours (no overnight stay). Explore Japanese household ingredients at a neighborhood supermarket with your host, then choose your favorite dish from about 20 options and cook it together in the host's kitchen. Share the home-cooked meal you made and chat freely about Japanese food culture and daily habits. With a maximum of 4 participants, you can interact closely with your host.

Program

Experience everyday Japanese life
in a local Tokyo home

This experience takes place over about 3.5 hours in a real Tokyo home where your host actually lives, cooks and spends their days. Every home is different, from a compact Tokyo apartment to a typical Japanese house in a residential area. Get a close look at local life as a guest of a Japanese family rather than a tourist.

Stroll the neighborhood and shop at a supermarket

Meet your host at a local station, take a walk through a quiet residential area, and browse a neighborhood Japanese grocery store together (about 30 minutes). Learn about the everyday ingredients Japanese families actually buy.

Choose from 20 dishes and cook together

Pick your favorite dish from about 20 options and cook it together in your host's kitchen (about 90 minutes). Learn practical cooking techniques used in Japanese homes.

Sample menu
Meat: yakitori, karaage, ginger pork, tonkatsu
Fish: teriyaki yellowtail, miso-simmered mackerel
Rice: tuna chirashi sushi, Japanese curry rice, oyakodon and more
Popular dishes: tantanmen, gyoza, tempura, okonomiyaki
Sides: onigiri, tamagoyaki
Desserts: fruit daifuku, soufflé pancakes, goma-dofu (sesame tofu)

Share the meal and enjoy Japanese culture

Enjoy the home-cooked meal you made together while chatting with your host about Japanese food, table manners, daily habits and traditions (about 60 minutes). Finish with a 30-minute traditional cultural activity. Depending on your host, this may include origami, calligraphy, trying on a kimono or yukata, or a matcha experience.

※ The exact meeting point (a station near the host’s home) will be provided after your booking is confirmed. Shinjuku Station is not the actual meeting point.
