1) Don't bring a small gift, bring a big gift. You are staying at these people's homes for a year. Gift giving is an important part of Japanese culture, and unfortunatley gifts tend to be expensive. I don't know where you are from, but a nice picture book of your local area, and some (non fresh) food items would be a good gift too. Nothing to big in size, but this will be the first impression you make on them, so I think it worth spending a little more to make it a good one.
Where are you going to live (town name)?
