This small accommodation facility located in a quiet residential area in Izumisano City was once a building that functioned as a student dormitory. Operated by a nonprofit organization, it has become a meeting place for many foreign exchange students. Over time, it has been reborn as a locally-rooted hub for intercultural exchange.
In addition to comfortable private rooms, the building offers shared spaces such as a kitchen, living room, and a large hall. Here, guests from around the world deepen their exchanges and experience each other's cultures. The charm of this place lies in activities such as sharing culinary cultures, language lessons, and music and entertainment performances that deepen cultural exchanges.
While there are no detailed services, what you can get instead is an experience that is similar to living in a typical Japanese household. There are plans to hold simple Japanese language lessons provided by local volunteers and hands-on cooking classes using seasonal ingredients. It is a valuable place where you can touch upon Japanese culture from the perspective of a resident.
In the shared space, performances representing various countries are occasionally presented, transforming the space into a festival atmosphere that transcends national borders. However, once such lively times pass, a calm daily life returns. During your stay, you can experience the changing flow of time unique to this place.
What is cultivated through sharing meals and sleeping together is more than just knowledge, it is mutual understanding. Through interactions with other guests, facility staff, and local residents, you may develop open-mindedness and compassion. Please enjoy the unique experience of this place, distinct from tourism or leisure.
