Experience Everyday Japanese Life in a Warm, Cultural Homestay Live Like a Local in Takatsuki – Your Home Between Kyoto and Osaka Welcome to our home in Takatsuki City — a peaceful, clean, and safe neighborhood ideally located between Kyoto and Osaka. Since 2007, we have hosted guests from all over the world — not as a business, but as a cultural exchange. We especially welcome international students, working holiday travelers, and long-term visitors who want to experience authentic Japanese life. Our homestay offers more than just accommodation. It's a chance to connect, learn, and feel at home. We value meaningful interaction and strive to provide a warm and supportive base for your life in Japan. We're located just 2 km from JR Takatsuki Station. It's a 25-minute walk or a 10-minute bus ride (the bus stop is only 2 minutes from our house), giving you easy access to Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, and Kobe. ▷ About Our Home Two bright, south-facing guest rooms with cozy bedding Large desk for studying or remote work Free high-speed fiber-optic Wi-Fi Washer-dryer available Towels, hairdryer, soap, shampoo & conditioner provided Shared kitchen: microwave, toaster, electric kettle, fridge & freezer space Light breakfast included Optional home-cooked dinner: ¥1,000 (please request in advance) Special New Year's dinner (Jan 1–3): ¥3,000 ▷ About Us We're a retired couple in our 50s living with our adult son and two friendly dogs. With over 15 years of homestay hosting experience, we genuinely enjoy sharing daily life and supporting guests as they settle into Japan. While we occasionally travel to manage a vacation house in Takashima (Shiga), we always ensure guests are well supported during their stay. Note: We have two cheerful dogs. If you're uncomfortable with pets, our home may not be the right fit. ▷ Why Stay with Us – A Unique Experience in Kansai While our primary home is in Takatsuki — a safe, clean, and ideally located city for exploring the Kansai region — we also manage a cozy vacation house in Takashima, Shiga. Known among Japanese as a hidden gem, Takashima offers breathtaking natural beauty, fresh air, and a slower, more peaceful way of life. When the vacation house is not rented out, we often visit with our homestay guests, giving you the chance to enjoy not only urban convenience but also authentic rural living — think mountain walks, lake views, and star-filled skies. It's a rare opportunity to experience both sides of Japan: the energetic cities and the tranquil countryside. From Takatsuki, you'll enjoy easy access to Kansai's major attractions: Kyoto Station – 12 min Osaka (Umeda) – 15 min Namba / Dotonbori – ~50 min Kobe – 40 min Nara – 65 min After a day of exploring, studying, or simply soaking in Japanese life, come home to a welcoming environment where you're supported every step of the way — whether you're here for just a few days or staying longer. We're excited to share not just our home, but our lifestyle and culture — both urban and rural — with you.
