  Go Japan Program

  Homestay and Study Program

With this program, like the Cool Japan program, if you stay in one city you can study and homestay in Japan for a minimum of one week up to a maximum of 3 months. Unlike the Cool Japan program, there is an option if you stay four weeks or more. With a four week stay, you have the choice to stay in up to 2 different cities during the program. You can choose your two homestay cites among Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo, or Yokohama. One way transportation by a long distance bus between the cities you choose will be included in the program. With this program, you can improve your Japanese skill at school, practice at home, and also enjoy your own time traveling around Japan. The Kansai region cites (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and Nara) are all within 1 day trip distance between them. If you study both in Tokyo and Kansai, you also be able to learn about the cultural differences in each area, too!
