Course description

In the Tokyo Junior Camp Homestay, kids will have the chance to learn Japanese in the morning, followed by a group lunch. After that, they set out on exciting adventures as they explore the main attractions of Tokyo, joining cultural activities and group visits that make learning come alive.

This program takes place twice a year — one during the Summer Camp (usually from June to August) and another during the Winter Camp (usually from December to January of the following year), allowing students to enjoy Japan’s unique charm in both seasons.

Schedule:
Tokyo has so much to discover, but first, students will spend four hours each morning learning Japanese with the city’s top tutors.
In the afternoons, they will take part in trips to local museums, temples, traditional streets, and famous parks, where they can practice using the language together in real-life situations. Every Saturday, the school organizes a full-day excursion, usually from 09:00 to 18:00, giving students the chance to experience more of Japan’s culture and history.

Accommodation:
In the homestay camp, your child will stay with a local Japanese host family, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in Japanese culture and make the most of their language learning experience in a warm and authentic environment.

"It was challenging but very fun."

Dimitrij Poprygin, student from Germany

The tempo and difficulty was good. Also the provided material is perfect.
I liked the teachers. Maybe I didn’t like the fact, that we had 4 different teachers in 2 weeks.
Location in Akihabara was also very central. The school staff always tries to offer activities. I liked the after school lunches and the Karaoke Night. The housing was not good unfortunately. I am usually not picky, but the Jing House, where I lived was not clean, and noisy. Compared to the price I paid, it was below the standard. Apparently I got a bigger room when I moved in, which was just ok. But after 3 days I had to move to a neighbour room. It was smaller, smaller bed, No window, and it had a stinky sink. After the other room it felt like a total downgrade, but I just tolerated that, because I barely spend time there…
