Immersive environment for kids in Japan during summer

We're planning to go to Japan over the summer and would love our elementary-aged kids to spend time with local kids. We can get by with the language and enjoy smaller towns. Any leads would be great, thanks!

Depending on where you'll be in Japan, you might check with the Oakland-Fukuoaka Sister City Association (https://sites.google.com/site/ofsca1/home) - or maybe Berkeley also has a sister city arrangement? The Oakland group organizes annual trips for youth where they do home stays, visit school, etc., so they might have some leads on people willing to spend time with you outside the official program as well.
