Second time posting this to a more specific subreddit. Hello everyone, I’m currently in the navy and will be stationed in Yokosuka next year during the fall. I just wanted to ask about host families and things of the sort. I really want to involve myself in the culture as much as possible and learn some Japanese. What are the best ways to find a good host family? I’m 22 and want to explore all aspects of the culture. My biggest concern is if I were to go out and come back late/drunk I would disturb the family. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Host family? Is that something the navy organizes for you? I have heard of host families for high school students but I didn’t know they did them for the military as well.
Why not just rent a bed/room at a cheap hostel or share house?
In Yokosuka, there won’t be an arrangement like this possible.
Bit old for a host family no?
