Designed exclusively for students aged 15–19, the program goes beyond the classroom with daily Japanese lessons, interactive activities, and full cultural immersion. Students can experience true Japanese life by staying with carefully selected local host families, enjoying home-cooked meals and daily conversations.
Afternoons are filled with engaging activities like the tea ceremony, fruit picking, local festival, and hands-on workshops such as calligraphy, Aizome dyeing, and sushi making. This all-inclusive program covers airport transfers, breakfast and dinner and even weekly parent updates for peace of mind.
