  • Language learning in small groups (maximum class size is 8) with highly qualified faculty. This also includes an individualized one-to-one component delivered in small group seminars (see outline) to help you learn what you need. You also have the opportunity to enjoy catered lunches with your teachers three times each week providing extra conversation practise.

  • Practical culture seminars The opportunity to learn Kabuki dance, Tea Ceremony, Kitsuke, Japanese Cooking, Origami, Ikebana (Ohana) and Shoudo (calligraphy) as well as observing arrow making, stonework and the chance to participate in a sake tasting seminar with Japanese sake brewers, sommeliers, and sake fans.

  • Field trips visiting fascinating but initially difficult to understand Japanese cultural icons such as Sumo wrestling and Cormorant fishing, plus some difficult to get to places, including Ayu fishing (by hand), Takisanji & Tenonji, a sake brewer and a tofu maker in an isolated mountain village.

  • Festivals Matsuri are an important part of Japanese culture and the program highlights several. Those participating in July will be able to visit the Gion festival in Kyoto, those in August will be able to participate in a mikoshi festival. For more information about the above, please read the outline.

    We have a wide range of accommodation options including homestays, studio apartments or the Student Village.

    Please note that this is not an intensive language learning program. For additional language acquisition the program can be combined with Acceleration or SILAC & SILAC Plus.
