One factor might be that Japanese people do just tend to respond to certain things in a totally different way than Westerners. I had a lovely time with my first host family nine years ago, and most of the people I knew who were in my program had a lovely time... but looking back, I realize that we all also had the benefit of not having any real problems otherwise.

I recently had to stay with another Japanese family for a few days because of some let's just say difficulties, and they tried really really hard to help! ...but their approach to hard times is completely different, much more pragmatic and not at all equipped to deal with emotional fallout, and it ended up making me feel a lot worse.

ETA: Also, even with my lovely original host family, they could be pretty insensitive because sensitivity is just not a thing here. My host mom called me fat a couple times and didn't get why that would be a problem.
