About the Program

Tokyo will challenge you to experience the world in new ways as you immerse yourself in a culture that combines fast-paced modernity with age-old traditions. This program is excellent for serious students at all levels who seek to study Japanese language in an intensive 6-credit course. You will have the chance to practice your Japanese language skills at IES Abroad-organized events and workshops, and by extending your classroom learning as you explore the giant metropolis that is Tokyo. Travel outside of the city for an overnight trip in Nikko. Explore Nikko's shrines and temples, which are an UNESCO World Heritage site, practice Japanese wood carving, and spend the night in a traditional ryokan inn with onsen baths.
