After Thanksgiving, Christmas also became a lively time for the first time in a while. On Christmas morning, a wonderful surprise awaited me and my husband!

There is only one month left in this year.
Today, my children and friends gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving.

This is the second "Welcome back!" blog for this month.
As we operate a homestay, one of the biggest joys is reuniting with our guests. This time, a group of students from Temple University who visited us in the spring (although the members are different) came back to our community!

The visiting delegation from our sister city has arrived again. This year, delegation were consisting of 2 chaperons and 10 high school students.
One of the chaperons is someone who visited us with her family two years ago!

In Sasayama, autumn means it's time for the black soybean season!
Harvest experiences are held in various places, and during this time, the city of Sasayama experiences significant traffic congestion, making it a challenging season for locals. 😅
However, we hold a harvest event every year for our friends who look forward to eating black soybean...

The fun summer has come to an end, and now we can catch some breath and relax.
This time, a lady from Singapore came to visit all by herself.

We received a review from a guest who came as Summer Holiday Guests #1!
We truly appreciate all the wonderful reviews we receive from everyone! 😍

Our guests from Taiwan sent us the beautiful review!
They stayed with us in June and we had a wonderful adventure together!!😆

This time, two energetic brothers and their mother stayed for 4 nights and 5 days!
Some guests have children who are afraid of bugs or too scared to approach chickens, but this time, the kids loved insects, lizards, and frogs! 🐸🦎🪰🦗🪲

This time, a very fun mother and her two energetic siblings came to visit!
Shortly after their arrival, an air conditioner was installed in their room, and a new microwave that I had ordered arrived the day before. To top it off, a brand-new rice cooker also just arrived—what lucky guests! They've got good fortune! 😆
Now, what...
