Immerse yourself in the Japanese language and culture while studying at a Japanese language school in Tokyo. Whether you're passionate about anime, technology, history, or cuisine, studying abroad in Japan offers an exciting opportunity to enhance your language skills while experiencing the country firsthand.

Our programs cater to all levels, offering both short-term courses for a taste of Japanese culture and longer, more intensive programs to help you gain fluency. You’ll take structured Japanese lessons with expert teachers while applying what you learn in real-life situations—ordering at restaurants, exploring vibrant city districts, or chatting with local shop owners.

What can I expect from high school study abroad in Japan?

Attending a high school study abroad program in Japan means more than just studying in a classroom—you’ll be living the language every day. Our courses focus on practical communication, helping you feel comfortable speaking Japanese in real-world settings.

Beyond class, you’ll have the chance to explore Tokyo’s unique neighborhoods, from the neon-lit streets of Shibuya to the tranquil gardens of the Imperial Palace. Participate in cultural activities like tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and sushi-making workshops, and take guided excursions to historic temples and modern attractions. Every experience will deepen your understanding of Japanese culture while reinforcing your language skills.

What are my accommodation options in Japan?

Your choice of accommodation can shape your experience, and we offer two excellent options:

  • Host family: Live with a welcoming Japanese family, experience daily life firsthand, and get extra language practice in a supportive home environment.
  • Student residence: Stay in a shared residence with fellow international students, offering independence and a social atmosphere where you can make lifelong friends.

Both options provide a comfortable and immersive environment to help you make the most of your time in Tokyo.
