Japanese Immersion

Improve Your Language Skills

The purpose of this program is to improve students’ Japanese proficiency through interaction with local residents, and through activities in the community that cannot be experienced in regular classes in the classroom.

Activities will include walking around the Kannawa area of Beppu City, which has a long history as a hot-springs area and is popular for its retro atmosphere, experiencing Kannawa's famous "jigoku-mushi ryori" (steamed food cooked in a steam-packed hell), staying at a therapeutic bath inn, and interacting with people who live in Kannawa while learning about the area and conducting project work in Japanese.
