Can I stay with a relative?

If I decide to take the six week summer program, will I be able to stay with my realtives who live in Japan?

I spoke with someone from YFU and they said staying with relatives is not an option. There is a possibility if you request a direct placement with your family members in Japan, but the YFU National Office will have to screen and interview them. If they meet YFU’s standards, then a direct placement can be made. The request isn't a guarantee, but it's worth a shot! Hope this helps!
