Japanese Language & Culture Program


(Update: Applications are open.)
  • Dates: Starts almost every Thursday all year round.
  • Levels: Absolute beginner to Intermediate. Maximum language class size is 8 students.
  • Description: Small classes, language & cultural immersion, field trips plus adventure travel.
  • Fee: Tuition fee is from 98,300 yen including all classes and lab work, lunches with faculty, field trips and seminars.

    • The Japanese Language & Culture Program is a 2 to 12 week experiential program enabling you to learn the Japanese language while experiencing traditional and modern Japanese culture in a very hands on way. The program is multifaceted and includes:

  • 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 each day providing extra conversation practise every day.

  • 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.
