Our afternoon program offers the students the opportunity to learn more and understand Japanese culture and society.

You will require I.D. passport photos for various applications and certificates after you arrive in Japan. We suggest that you bring at least 5 or 6 photos as there will be many instances when you will need to supply a photograph of yourself. For example, you will need identification photos to apply for a foreign registration card, and to register at the school.

The school provides all teaching materials, but you must bring paper, pens, and a bilingual dictionary

Activities & Excursions
You will also have the opportunity to enjoy numerous excursions and tours of the city and its surroundings. In the afternoons, there are 4 hours of cultural/social activities per week. The weekend excursions offers a chance to visit mountain or coastal areas.

Afternoon activities could include: tea ceremonies, Kimono clothing, calligraphy and origami (paper-folding), sporting activities, cookery courses. Lectures are in Japanese or English - so you need a good basic knowledge of English.

The school provides suggestions and information concerning events taking place in the area, places of interest, travel to neighboring towns or other parts of Japan, or particular activities that students may want to do while they are in Japan. Bicycles are the most convenient method of transport for getting around town. (Bicycles can be rented from the school). The nearest mountains and beaches are only half an hour away on bicycle.
