Stay with JP family in Osaka,Kyoto

--------------------------------- Family Homestay with children in Osaka — Suimaaru --------------------------------- We run a 7-room share-house style homestay in Suita, Osaka, where families, friends, and guests live together under 1 roof. Suimaaru was created with a simple idea: “No one should raise children alone — let’s create a home where we support each other.” We currently live as a multigenerational household, welcoming guests from around the world. Many visitors have told us: “They welcomed me like family.” “I experienced the real daily life of Japan in a warm and authentic way.” Our house is older, but we try to keep it clean and well maintained. It is lively but not noisy — a place where you can feel connected while still enjoying your own pace and privacy. Even if you don’t speak much Japanese, you are very welcome here. We aim to create a space where you can relax and feel at home when you return each day. 【Experience Everyday Life in Osaka】 This is not a hotel — it is a place where you can stay inside an ordinary Japanese home and community. In this house or next door house, you may naturally meet neighbors and children from the area. There is no pressure to join — please participate only when you feel like it. We sometimes offer cultural activities such as calligraphy, origami, and takoyaki-making (materials fee applies). The neighborhood is quiet and residential. The nearest station is a 5-minute walk away, and Osaka’s main station is only 9 minutes by train. Shopping streets, supermarkets, restaurants, and bookstores are all nearby, making daily life very convenient. 【Local Encounters & Food Experiences】 Within walking distance, there is a small bar that opens only on Friday nights, where Japanese locals enjoy chatting in English — perfect if you’d like to meet people during your stay. There is also a nearby restaurant that happily cooks any Japanese dish you request. If you tell us in advance what you would like to try, Mary can coordinate with the chef. 【Opportunities to Learn Japanese】 Every Monday at lunchtime, a free Japanese class is held within walking distance. It is run by local volunteers and is very welcoming to beginners — a great chance to practice Japanese in real situations. 【Japanese Cultural Experience】 Depending on your interests, we can arrange experiences such as takoyaki-making, calligraphy, or origami at convenient times. If our friends’ schedules allow, we can also organize yukata dressing or a tea (Matcha, green tea) experience. All activities are optional — you can choose what suits your stay best. Sorry if we're busy and can't make it in time. 【Event at the house next door】 Events are held in the neighboring building every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Japanese people who live nearby come to visit, but sometimes no one comes. 【Quiet Evenings】 Many residents go to bed around 9:00 p.m., so the house is best suited for guests who enjoy peaceful nights. Because this is a shared home, there are a few house rules — thank you for helping everyone live comfortably together. 【About Us】 Currently, the household includes 5 adults and 2 children, plus 1-4 guests depending on the season. ▼Mary Mary works from home and manages the house. She is certified in calligraphy and can write your name in kanji or practice together with you. She has traveled to 48 countries. ▼Hide Hide works for a manufacturing company.
