Hospitality

Hey Guys,

I have got a question about culture of hospitality in japan.
I will travel to Japan this summer and I will meet a Japanese
friend that live in Fukoka for a weekend. I was thinking to book a room in an hostel for few days, since I don't want to impose my presence cause I know that If I ask him to host me for a couple of days, I wouldn't say no; on the other hand If I don't ask him and I tell him, I will stay in an hostel I might be feel offended (maybe I might think that his house is not good enough). I don't know. Does it make sense?

Daniel33,

Yes, it completely makes sense.

Simply tell him, "I'm going to Japan and I will be staying at a hostel."

If your friend says, "No, please stay at my home." than you should stay at his home. If he says nothing, then book the hostel.

Thanks for the tip! It 's sometimes kinda of tricky avoid to create some misunderstanding! appreciate your help.
