(What is an event homestay?)

  • This is a program implemented as part of regional revitalization efforts when a shortage of accommodations is expected during a festival or event that attracts many visitors, or when there is a desire to promote interaction between local residents and travelers through homestays.
  • The local government takes the lead by recruiting residents who wish to offer their homes in advance and asking those who meet the requirements to provide their homes as accommodations.
  • By promoting interaction between local residents and travelers and helping expand tourism spending, event homestays are expected to be an effective initiative for regional revitalization through tourism.
