Summer is the best time to escape Japan’s hot and humid rainy season and discover Hokkaido’s wonderful Summer landscape. Our school is located in Sapporo, Japan’s 4th largest city, yet does not feel crowded. With mild temperatures around 20~25°C Sapporo has abundant green parks, nearby hiking trails, and super-friendly locals, making it a perfect place to study Japanese in a calm and pleasant environment.
Sapporo is a major study hub for Japanese university students from all across Japan, which provides a perfect environment to make a lot of Japanese friends and participate in many language exchange and social activities we held. This course is specifically created for our Hokkaido campus to give you full cultural exposure paired with many fun outdoor activities to make the coming Summer an unforgettable journey of a lifetime. As study spots are limited for this course, we recommend to apply early. If spots are filled for your requested dates, we might suggest later dates. Please note that activities cannot be chosen and schedules might vary from the suggested activities below due to availability and seasonal changes.
We have made sure to keep start and finish dates flexible for the most part to ensure you can plan your Japan adventure with us according to your schedule.
