Here’s information from Rainbow Plaza about the Homestay and Home Visit Program for International Students. The Homestay and Home Visit Program introduces international students enrolled in colleges, junior colleges or language schools in the Fukuoka metropolitan area, and Japanese families in Fukuoka interested in international exchange, providing the opportunity for them to meet regularly and deepen mutual understanding.

Participants and Japanese host families enjoy time together, such as conversation over meals. Each student-family pair is free to decide on where and how they would like to spend time together. The period of exchange is from January through March of next year. There are spots for 20 participants. For further information, please visit the homepage.

Interested parties should call Rainbow Plaza by November 10th and set up an interview. Please bring your application, school ID, and Foreign Residency Card with you to the interview. Applications can be downloaded from the web site and may be filled out at the time of your interview.

Also, please be aware that participants and host families will have a meeting ceremony on Sunday, December 20th. Participating parties are expected to attend. If circumstances prevent members from participating, a private meeting will be arranged for a separate day. Please direct questions and make reservations for meetings with Rainbow Plaza.
