Fukuoka City, Japan
Fukuoka is a beautiful city on the island of Kyushu, in southern Japan. Enjoy the moderate climate, peaceful rivers, and colorful city life. It is a very modern city, and at the same time the home of some of the oldest festivals in the country.
The Classes
Your classes will be held at a nonprofit language school in the heart of Fukuoka. The class sizes are small (usually between 3 and 10 students), so you will have plenty of opportunities to participate. Your class mates will be international students from around the world. The program includes twenty hours of language
classes per week.
Cultural Activities
On three afternoons per week, join cultural activities and local excursions to dive deeper into the Japanese language and culture! For example, you may experience a traditional tea ceremony, learn how to make soba noodles, visit a graphic design school to see the evolution of a new manga, or try out Japanese martial arts. Excursions may lead you to a Shinto shrine, a museum, or the landmark Fukuoka tower. If you want, you can add more activities and excursions for an additional fee.
Accommodations
A homestay with a local family is the best way to immerse yourself in the daily life in Fukuoka. Host families come in all shapes and sizes, but what they all have in common is a strong interest in sharing their culture. Breakfast and dinner are included.
