Great people make a great program!

My favorite part of the Year-in-Japan program is the people who make the program possible. Just to mention a few, the staff are always caring and professional. The instructors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic in teaching. Living with a Japanese host family, you will definitely be immersed into the culture, which you can experience only in Japan!

No wonder Year-in-Japan has been a successful program for over 40 years. I strongly recommend this program!

Kobe is a great place to live. It’s easily accessible to other historically and culturally significant cities such as Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, and Hiroshima. Field trips are scheduled to visit some of these cities and there is an optional Tokyo tour as well. Don’t worry, the program schedule allows you to freely explore other places on your own!
