Homestay in Osaka

We are Haruki and Ayako, a friendly Japanese couple who enjoy meeting and communicating with people from around the world. We live with our 1-year-and-3-month-old daughter and our female dog, Hinata, in our apartment. We have been welcoming homestay guests since 2013, except for a break from 2019 to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the years, we have hosted many guests from different countries and have enjoyed sharing our daily life and culture with them. We both speak Japanese and English, and we will be happy to help make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. As we have a young child, our daily routine and lifestyle are centered around her. We warmly welcome guests who are comfortable staying with a family with a small child and who understand that there may sometimes be children’s sounds and activities in the home. Please also note that we do not provide meals, including breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
