Get out of the classroom and come experience JAPAN! For the first part of the program, we will explore the ancient capital Kyoto—a city that offers Japan’s equivalent of Paris, London, and Rome all in one valley of astonishing beauty. Through blogs, scavenger hunts, field trips and other forms of interactive learning, we will develop our cultural knowledge and language ability while discovering the temples, shrines, parks, culinary delights, and other cultural offerings of Kyoto along with the deep pockets of coolness in neighboring Osaka. For the final part of the program, we will tour Japan by bullet train, stopping to visit war memorials in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, ancient castles in Himeji, hot springs resorts in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture, and festivals in northern Honshu and Hokkaido. We will also spend several days in Tokyo—a city renowned for its Instagram-worthy street fashion, cool stationery shops, world-famous anime studios, cutting-edge architecture, otaku culture, and many many Michelin-starred restaurants—the most of any city in the world!
