Program Reviews:
Holden Ann Zimmerman, Summer 2016 Participant
I learned a lot about myself, a lot about Japanese history and literature, but most important I learned what living in Japan is really like.

Drew Kocour, Summer 2017 Participant
The most rewarding portion of the program, I think, was speaking Japanese with students of Kanagawa University and my host family. It was great to see that all my studies in Japanese language had bore great fruit, and my host family and the students appreciated it immensely.

Summer 2019 Participant
The Kyoto and Osaka tour was by far the best part of this program. It was educational and interesting, while showing real places we've learned about in real-time. It also had the most intriguing areas and was overall had the best locations.
