Esta experiência é algo que eu sempre vou valorizar. Desde o momento em que cheguei, senti-me realmente bem-vindo e aprendi muito durante a minha estadia. Ryusei é um garoto muito enérgico e um pouco bobo. Jogamos incontáveis jogos, fizemos muitas artes e nos divertimos bastante juntos. Ele sempre deu o seu melhor para se comunicar comigo e adorava aprender novas palavras em inglês. Também é um bom sensei. Eu acabei aprendendo muitas palavras do anfitrião dele também! Meu único arrependimento é não ter conseguido ficar mais tempo. Obrigado por compartilhar seu mundo comigo e por me permitir fazer o mesmo!!! Voltarei!

Eu tive uma experiência maravilhosa com a família, o anfitrião! Eles me receberam calorosamente e me fizeram me sentir em casa desde o começo. Tive meu próprio quarto privado, tudo estava bem organizado e as expectativas estavam claras. Eles também foram muito gentis, flexíveis e solidários. Esta experiência me permitiu descobrir a cultura do anfitrião de uma forma que eu nunca iria experimentar como turista, enquanto compartilhava o dia a dia e conversas significativas. Também compartilhei minha língua, o que eu realmente gostei. Ryusei é uma criança alegre e adorável, fácil de cuidar e com a qual é possível criar um vínculo. Só gostaria de ter ficado mais tempo e recomendo fortemente!

Adorei absolutamente meu tempo com a família Maruo — foi uma experiência tão única ficar em uma casa que tem mais de 300 anos de idade. Desde o momento em que cheguei, todos foram incrivelmente acolhedores e me fizeram sentir em casa. Ryusei rapidamente se aproximou de mim e adorava ficar no meu colo; ele é um menino tão fofo, sorridente e com muita energia. Meu quarto era perfeitamente acolhedor e privado, proporcionando um ótimo espaço para relaxar. A comunicação foi fácil e muito apreciada, o que tornou a programação flexível e permitiu que os dias fluíssem naturalmente. Senti de verdade que experimentei um verdadeiro senso da vida cotidiana japonesa.

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 the host culture so closely as a foreigner with limited the host 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 the host 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 the host 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.

The house is extremely beautiful and the host , it was such a great opportunity to experience living like a the host person ; plus it was so close to Kyoto central station so it was really easy moving around the city .

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 the host 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!

Thank you Shinzo-san and Serena-san for this wonderful experience! My time at the host and Fukuchiyama were absolutely incredible. the host is a beautiful piece of architecture in a great location in Kyoto. I was able to explore the city and participate in tea ceremonies and kimono wearing. At the house in Fukuchiyama, I got to explore the countryside and learn about the local culture. It was a real slice of life and a lot of fun. The hosts are very kind and communicated everything very well. The work was simple and enjoyable with fair hours. I hope to visit again some day!

Staying with Serena San and Maruo San in Japan was an unforgettable experience. Serena San went above and beyond to provide exceptional hospitality, exemplifying the true definition of a great hostess. I am grateful for the incredible omotenashi she provided, which made me feel welcomed and at home throughout my stay. Babysitting their 2-year-old son Ryusei was a delightful experience, and I had so much fun playing with him and watching him learn new things. Overall, my stay in Kyoto allowed me to grow and learn in ways that I never imagined, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity.
