Do you want to stay in a fully Japanese family and have almost no chance of communication? Or would you be satisfied with a place to stay, where both English and Japanese is used on a pretty equal basis? I'll give you a shot. I've had one homestay that went great. Hard to beat the enjoyment out of what I got from that student, so you would have big shoes to fill. I'm not promising anything at the moment, just giving you a chance to get back to me and we can exchange a few emails and see how it goes. I've changed my settings, temporarily, to allow people to contact me. I'll change it back to No Contact in the near future if I don't hear back from you. I can offer you a place to stay if it seems like you a nice guy and I can trust you around my family. No promises. This kind of decision would have to discussed with the wife. But I can, at the moment, say that we would consider it. We live about 30 minutes outside of Osaka, and at least IMHO, at great area to experience Japan. Get back to me soon, because I will change my settings back to No Contact if I don't hear from you soon. Yeah, it's a throw-away account on HotMail, but I still like to protect my privacy. So much so that I may simply delete the account after this offer. Let me know.

What you're looking for is someone to let you couch surf. http://www.couchsurfing.org/

I'm actually not sure, but I just wanted to say that Belie is incorrect -there is no better way to see Japan than from someone's house as opposed through a Western-style hotel. It's not a free ride, likely there is compensation for meals, and it is the most educational and challenging experience for sure.
