Nagomi Visit
2025-04-02
Describe your host?[My hosts] were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They were kind, accommodating, and genuinely excited to share their culture with us.
What did you talk about during your Nagomi Visit?We spoke about daily life in Japan, how people live, and what the local lifestyle is like. Since our visit was towards the end of our trip, [my hosts] asked us about our journey so far — what we had seen, what we liked, and what foods we had tried. We also shared stories about Bulgaria, our traditions, and the food we eat back home.
Did you make any new discoveries?Yes! We learned how to make matcha tea properly and discovered how delicious Sukiyaki can be when made the traditional way. We also saw wild parrots in the Sakura trees, which was an unexpected and beautiful surprise.
What did you eat?We had Sukiyaki, and it was absolutely amazing!
If you participated with others, what were their thoughts about the Nagomi Visit?I was with my husband, and he enjoyed the experience just as much as I did. We both felt so welcomed and had a wonderful time.
What was your most memorable moment?Everything was memorable! From the start, when [my hosts] took us to a street lined with Sakura trees, to the delicious dinner they prepared for us. They even dressed us up and gave us insight into their daily lives. It was a truly special experience.
Do you still keep in touch with your host?Yes, we do! [My hosts] showed interest in Bulgaria, and we would love to welcome them to our home if they ever decide to visit.
