Kevin, originally from China, spent a month interning in Japan and chose to stay with Homii. Initially, he was worried that the relationship with his host would be formal and distant, like a typical host-guest interaction. However, he ended up building a close friendship with his host, sharing stories and experiences from their respective countries and life in Japan.
He chose Homii because other options, like APA Hotel and Airbnb, were expensive, and renting required long and complicated preparation. Homii offered the convenience of an easy process and reasonable pricing, combining the best of both worlds.
During his stay, Kevin and his host grew closer, feeling more like a family. They shared their experiences every night, which helped Kevin learn more about Japanese culture and the perspectives of people in Japan. He also connected with his host’s friends, exchanging stories and deepening the relationship further.
Kevin encourages others to actively engage in conversations with their host and their host’s friends. He highlights that hosts are welcoming and genuinely interested in the guests’ experiences, creating opportunities for meaningful exchanges and valuable learning. By simply talking and connecting, he believes guests can gain a lot from their stay.
