This accommodation at GenkiJACS Tokyo

Staying with a Japanese family is an excellent way to immerse yourself in the culture and to practise in the evening what you have learned during the day. The school takes your preferences into account (smoker or not, allergies, English level) when choosing the family.

The room is always private, in Japanese or Western style, with a bed, desk, air conditioning and an equipped kitchen in the house. In high season, another student may be hosted at the same time, with the effort of not placing two students with the same mother tongue together.

To experience Tokyo from the inside, in contact with a family, away from the bustle of the tourist districts.
