2015-04-25 Home Stay Family Event – Nishio Residence & Asahi Beer Factory

After that awkward experience with my host family last time, finally, I got to meet them again as this was a mandatory event offered by the university host family program.

Former Nishio Family Residence (Suita Cultural Creation Exchange Center)

Much of the furniture was imported from western countries, which were not quite affordable for most Japanese families during that period of time. They even owned a pool table in the living/play room, which was considered luxurious in the community.

Asahi Brewery Suita Factory

Asahi is the #1 best selling beer producer in Japan. One of the perks of visiting this Asahi factory is to have complimentary beer after the tour, straight from the factory!

Kobe Ya (神戸屋 レストラン)

The host family was really nice. They treated me in a bakery restaurant (Kobe Ya) for a really nice meal! Unlimited bread refill and they have all sorts of bread.
