Step Outside the Classroom — Experience Real-Life Japanese 鉛筆

At our Kodomo Gakusyu Kyoshitu, children study language arts and math in Japanese every day. But learning a language goes far beyond textbooks or classrooms. True understanding comes from living the language—using it, feeling it, and connecting with others through it.

Born from our desire to help children “discover themselves through cross-cultural experiences,” this study abroad program offers something more than a sightseeing trip. It provides children a truly immersive Japanese environment—one where they naturally use and internalize the language.

Supported by partner organizations and schools in Japan, this program ensures a safe and enriching first study abroad experience.

If you’re wondering, “How can my child truly become bilingual?” or “How can I give them more real-life chances to use Japanese?”, this unique program could be the answer.
