I’m looking for a good homestay programme in Japan?
Posted on February 17th, 2010 by admin
Could anyone please give me a link or tell me something about a good homestay programme in Japan?? I have looked at some but I really really want to stay in Osaka, so if anyone knows one where you can choose where to stay, please tell me! Basically any good one though! Thank you 
Hi there!
I am also applying to go to Japan myself for a year on an exchange program
so I know two exchange programs company:
www.ef.com
www.afs.org
They both should be international companies that deals with many different countries and Japan is one of them. They are also different scholarships and types of program ie. 2 weeks, half year, 1 year etc etc. I don’t think you get to choose where you want to stay though, so whether you get to stay in Osaka is not 100%. For EF, the homestay family choose you. For AFS, the company selects the most compatible families to suit you or otherwise any available families. I’m not 100% sure how they really work but most likely you don’t get to choose.
Sorry I didn’t help much but do check the websites out and it’d give you a better idea on things ^^
best answer please
