About Program
Maybe it started with anime, a game or a bowl of ramen. A summer in Japan is where that spark turns into real conversation. Japanese stops being a school subject and becomes the way you get through the day, with native-speaker teachers and classmates from around the world.
Four cities, four ways to learn Japanese this summer. Tokyo (ages 11 to 17) puts technology, AI and robots at the center of its activities, while Osaka (ages 11 to 17) serves up castles, street food and cooking classes; neither requires hiragana, and all levels are welcome.
Fukuoka (ages 14 to 17) is a three-week program with small classes of up to eight students and a visit to a local high school. Kyoto (ages 14 to 19) is the traditional choice, with a host family and hands-on workshops in calligraphy, sushi making and Japanese drumming, though you should read hiragana before arrival. In every city, native Japanese teachers lead the classes and you study alongside students from around the world.
