Homestay & Language School in one package available!
The school is located 10 min by train from our traditional japanese home!
Our house is located in Otsu city, 10 min by train from Kyoto station.
We can offer you to take Japanese lessons while staying with us.
The plan with lessons includes:
2 hours of Japanese language lessons 10.00 - 12.00
in the morning, every day from Monday to Friday.
The rest of the day you can spend freely (of course!).
Saturdays & Sundays the school is closed,
so you will have the whole weekend to your leisure.
We only accept monthly stays and the fees are to be paid in 1 month increments. (During the mid-summer and mid-winter we charge 10,000 yen extra per month for electricity.)
The payment for lessons will be made separately, to the school. The price for lessons is 100,000 yen per month.
(Note. We are not in the position of giving you a VISA, so without a VISA your stay will be limited to 3 months.
If you are planning on going to a bigger language school, you may also come to our school first to prepare yourself, and discontinue the lessons from the point you start going to the other school.)

Very nice place! Otsu-shi is a beautiful city on the coast of Biwako, rich in history and culture, and a short train ride to neighboring cities such as Kyoto and Osaka. I stayed with this family for one month and attended the Japanese-English language school that they run. They are very kind and cool people, generous and accommodating, and also very active. It's a short, direct walk to the nearest train station (approximately five minutes), and about three minutes to the nearest kombini, which is en route to the station.
Every morning oka-san (the mother) prepared a delicious breakfast - which I felt slightly guilty about, since I'm used to cooking for myself, but she's extremely gracious about it :P She has a strong functional knowledge of English, and the daughter, whom runs the language school, is by far one of the most proficient English speakers that I met in Japan.
I highly recommend this home, and Otsu in general, as a great alternative to staying in one of Kansai's more densely-populated, tourist-packed areas (such as Kyoto), with convenient access to wonderful natural and cultural sites, and very nice people!
