Serena-San & Shinzo-san are the most lovely, giving hosts one could ask for. I immediately felt supported and continued to feel more and more so throughout my stay. I am so honored to have been able to learn about kimono and tea ceremony, I feel it is probably near impossible to get inside this part of Japanese culture so closely as a foreigner with limited Japanese skills, so it's a once in a lifetime experience.
Staying in the beautiful Samurai house was incredible and you get to do so in exchange for playing with their son friendly son, Ryusei, all around Kyoto? 1000% recommend

Kyoto Samurai House was a great experience! The family was very welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. The baby boy is adorable, we had a lot of fun together, already missing him!

You definitely have to be flexible with the schedule, but the family makes their best to give you the days off you want!

In general it was very interesting to live in the samurai house and be able to experience and learn more about Japanese culture. Serena and Shinzo are truly great people, and was a pleasure to share time with them!

See you again in December! And maybe karaoke sometime 😄

The Maruo family were welcoming and really helpful during my time in Japan. The hours I worked in the end were very reasonable. They let me use their car and explore areas around Fukuchyama & Kyoto. Their house in Kyoto is in a great location. The family were also extremely nice and welcoming and allowed me to do what I wanted/ gave me choice of what I wanted to do whilst I was with them. Would highly recommend them.

I had a lovely time there ! The house is extremely beautiful and traditional , it was such a great opportunity to experience living like a Japanese person ; plus it was so close to Kyoto central station so it was really easy moving around the city . I enjoyed this experience also because of the lovely atmosphere created by my kind and funny hosts who were also interested in Italian language so I was really happy to see my language really appreciated:)

I had a great experience volunteering for the Samurai House! I spent my time babysitting their adorable 2-year-old, cleaning the house/garden, and helping to teach an origami class. It is truly a special experience getting to live in a 300 year old traditional home, and there is a communal kitchen for the volunteers to use. I worked 25 hours a week and was able to spend my free time exploring the rest of Kyoto. I was even able to plan my days off so I could take day trips to Nara and Osaka. The hosts are great about communication and planning. Be prepared to be flexible with your schedule!
