Hello HomeExchange community! :globe_showing_asia_australia:

We are planning a one-year adventure for the 2027+ school year (August/September to July/August).

Our #1 priority is Japan: we plan to enroll our daughters at the LFIT (Lycée Français International de Tokyo). We are looking for a home in North Tokyo (Kita, Itabashi, Toshima, Bunkyo).

However, we are also open to other international destinations for this sabbatical year. We are a family of four from Brittany, France (two young daughters born in 2022 and 2025).

What we offer:
Our 1,700 sq. ft. family home in Châteaugiron, a charming medieval town near Rennes.

  • Highlights: Quiet cul-de-sac, private garden, outdoor Jacuzzi, piano, and high-speed fiber.
  • Lifestyle: Screen-free home (no TV but we can by one if dealbreaker) but lots of toys! Walking distance to everything (shops, castle, aquatic center).
  • Location: Perfect base to discover Brittany (1h from Mont Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo).
  • Extras: Car and bikes can be included.

We are seasoned travelers, very respectful and careful with the homes we stay in. Although we are new to HomeExchange, we have many 5-star reviews on Airbnb that we would be happy to share to show our reliability.

Hello. Nice project but I would advice you to try local exchanges first, to build reviews etc. Exchanging is already hard in japan (100 members while 90 000 in France !) cause it’s not in their culture. You would have better chance in other countries like USA, Canada , Australia, New zealand for example in my humble opinion

Good call! I did left “Open to other options” in case Japan is impossible.
I was hoping some expats would like to spend a year in France at some point :man_shrugging:
This isn’t the only post I’m going to make for that project though.
