A citizens' group working to promote mutual understanding between Japanese and foreigners living in Japan announced Monday that it will hold a one-day home stay program in which participants spend a night at the homes of non-Japanese residents in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Backed by the Foreign Ministry, corporations and a group of citizens, the event, organized by the One-day Homestay Executive Committee, will take place on March 16 with around 100 participants staying at the residences of some 20 foreign households mainly in Tokyo.
Shin Suk-ok, an organizer of the event, said she hopes the home stays will facilitate mutual understanding between Japanese and foreigners in Japan as well as between foreigners themselves.
