Through exchanges with local high school students and participation in classes, students develop practical Japanese communication skills. Homestays also give them firsthand experience of everyday life in the local community.
In this region affected by the disaster, students learn about disaster preparedness and recovery efforts, gaining a deeper understanding of the importance of protecting lives and of society.
We provide hands-on learning opportunities that integrate the study of language, culture, and social issues.
