THE GRAND TOUR OF JAPAN: the entire first week of the study abroad Japan program is a week-long travel all over Japan: Tokyo-Nagoya-Kyoto-Hiroshima. Students all stay in hotels and ride lots of trains. The Japan Rail Pass provides unlimited train rides for 7-days, including the “Bullet” super-express trains.

The Japan Sea Beaches and the Shinano River: it is NOT the Pacific Ocean! Experience the “flip-side” of the Pacific Ocean: the Japan Sea and its beautiful beaches near Niigata. The Shinano river, in Niigata, is Japan’s largest river. Also, there will be a chance to visit Sado Island for weekend homestay!

Miyajima (the Waterfront Shrine: the World Heritage): regarded as one of the most beautiful places in Japan, the Miyajima provides amazing opportunities to explore Japanese culture and history!


Experience Japanese Life Style: ranging from hot spring tour to a quiet place to examine your spirit . . . You will find something that you absolutely fall in love with!

Friendship with Local People: one of the unique features of study abroad Japan program is its emphasis on developing friendship with local people. You may find someone, who may become your life-long friend.
