Home-Hosted Visit:Tea with a Family

Kanazawa • Home-Hosted Visit: Tea with a local family
Today’s Home-Hosted visit will not include lunch with the family,
The Home-Hosted Visit with local families who live in various sections of the city. This is a rare opportunity to witness the every day lives of typical residents of Kanazawa and glimpse authentic Japanese culture. Some
of our hosts are accomplished tea ceremony masters, are skilled in Japanese calligraphy, cultivate bonsai trees, or fold origami, and will
be happy to share these talents with you.

During our enlightening cultural exchange, we’ll have the opportunity to browse family photos, learn about our hosts, and converse about various Japanese traditions over a cup of tea, a tradition that is central to Japanese
culture. Your hosts may or may not speak some English, but you will find that some forms of communication are universal. Get creative with hand gestures, or perhaps employ some of the new phrases you learned during your time
in Japan. We’ll then take taxis to Kanazawa train station.Читать далее
