一期一会: Treasure every encounter, for it will never recur

One host family told us that the famous Japanese proverb above expresses well about Minka Homestay experience.

We arrange our host family for travellers considering allergies, religions, nationalities, family members and various other qualities. MInka Homestay is totally different from any other accommodations, as you get to know Japanese lifestyle and culture so closely through people. We often witness even staying for a couple of days makes special connections.

By preparing food, enjoying meals together, we get closer to each other, especially in the private home, or Minka. We can understand each other, despite nationalities or languages being varied. Minka Homestay brings to you such a precious feeling.

～一期一会～ This proverb comes frome Japanese Tea ceremony, which reminds us that the party will be held only one life time and each one of us needs to show the respect and make the best effort at once. We assure you that the encounter on Minka Homestay will be your memory forever.
