Your room is very within the family house, so you ¨kind of" live within them. You have your private room space, though, at the same time the family carries on with its standard duties, which is a good thing and you're more than welcome to be involved if you want.
The town and nature around the house is beautiful, too.
Dinners are with the family, they are like a family dinner, but with very tasty food! Breakfast are tasty . There's always season and fresh fruits. (In my case it were "Kaki" and tangerines)
The mother of the family speaks very good english and is not afraid to tackle any topic, so you can have -again, if you want to- very meaningful conversations.
Their kid (Shin-chan) is lovely, too.
