Japanese

Visiting Japan offers an invaluable opportunity for students to develop an understanding of a culture known for its unwritten social rules and customs. When is it appropriate to bow, remove your shoes, or even make eye contact? Students participate in a homestay program, where these cultural cues will become practiced. Local Japanese students will enjoy your groups’ visit to their high school, where they can bond with their peers over Manga and J-Pop.

Try your hand at Japanese calligraphy or Sushi making. During your tour you may even be lucky enough to experience the beautiful Cherry Blossom season, or catch a glimpse of the elusive and enigmatic Geisha. There are endless opportunities for exploration in a country where thousand year old traditions are juxtaposed with rapidly advancing technologies and boundary-pushing fads and fashions.
