Japanese Intensive Language Study
Academics
The Japanese Intensive Language Study program is a great way for students with advanced language skills to quickly and effectively gain the fluent use of Japanese while also experiencing the complex culture of Tokyo and the surrounding environs. The method used by this program is complete immersion. The student will be given minimal instruction in English throughout the whole term while also receiving a constant course in Japanese. The combination of both intensive instruction and cultural interaction has been shown to have measurable results equivalent to years of classroom instruction in an English-speaking environment.
Location and Housing
One of the largest cities in the world, Tokyo's megalopolis has an area of 223 square miles (or 577 sq km) and is home to over eight and a half million people. Tokyo is considered to be the cultural, 
educational and scientific center of Japan. The National Theater, the National Museum, the NHK (Radio Symphony Orchestra) and the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra are some of the finest examples of what Tokyo has to offer culturally.
Tokyo is Japan's largest and most densely populated city; a bustling, state-of-the-art marketplace full of energy, humanity and astonishing contrasts.
Millions of people pack the subways, sidewalks, and stores to maximum capacity every day and every hour. In some parts of the city, the streets are as crowded at 3 am as they are at 3 pm. With its full-force, sensory overload, Tokyo makes even New York City seem like a sleep town.
Despite its limited space for harmonious living, Tokyo remains one of the safest cities in the world, with very little crime or violence. Hardworking, honest, and helpful to strangers, the Japanese people are Japan's greatest asset.
