Wonderful days.
It is a very beautiful building and room there.
The kitchen utensils and amenities were well equipped and comfortable to live in. In addition, there are luxurious creative facilities for DIY and various gadgets.
I was surprised to find that "is there anything you can't do here?
I was so surprised that I asked myself lioness, "Is there anything I can't do here? I experienced a digital hybrid.
I was able to spend a very luxurious workcation time in an environment rich in nature, with the sea and mountains just a short walk away.
My host family was very kind and I was able to participate in many activities that are unique to the area.
I would like to thank you for your help with my requests for things I wanted to try during my stay.
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

I'm glad I chose to come here!
I am a fourth year university student.
I have used this Japanese homestay service several times and have always had many valuable experiences!
This time in Kaga was also very enjoyable and fulfilling.
I was able to experience nature and interact with local people in a way that I could only do here.
I am very satisfied!
I was also happy that the place we stayed was clean.
Thank you so much!
