Course description

Studying Japanese, experiencing Japanese culture such as tea ceremony and Japanese sweets making, activities such as rafting and canoeing… This summer, Nagoya JaLS has prepared a special summer course for students studying Japanese in Japan, which offers many experiences. Spend this summer in Nagoya, a city full of festivals such as the Nippon Domannaka Festival (one of the three major Yosakoi festivals in Japan), the Nagoya Castle Festival and the Hisaya Odori dance festival.

Summer in Nagoya is extremely exciting with the Nippon Domannaka Festival, one of the three major Yosakoi festivals in Japan, the Nagoya Castle Festival and the Hisaya Odori dance Festival. Practice and preparations for the festivals begin in all sorts of places in the lead-up to the festivals, and the whole of Nagoya is enveloped in the anticipation of the festivities. One of the best parts of coming to study in Nagoya in the summer is being able to commute to school every day during this time!
