The Koto club lessons, calligraphy class, Bon festival, Yamanashi Prefecture trip, yukata lesson, tea ceremony, and more!

I was extremely genuinely pleased with everything relating to the dorm. The room was spacious and quiet and comfortably cooled, the rules were fair, the cafeteria was nice, and the dorm manager and his wife were some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I truly have no complaints for my dorm experience.

The most productive and interesting aspects of the program were being in classes with people from all around the world. We could only use Japanese, and it was a lot of fun. I don’t think there was anything that wasn’t interesting or productive.

For new students or those considering, KCP is a great school to advance in the Japanese language. I wish I would have started learning Japanese at KCP instead of at my home college.

Having studied at KCP last year and this, my Japanese improved in ways I did not think were possible. KCP offerd a real Japanese school education.

The most interesting and productive aspects of the program for me, were all the conversation opportunities. Those are most important. Especially, for an American student. Most of us rarely ever get the chance to practice speaking Japanese, so when we are at KCP, when they dedicate part of the class to conversation, it is very beneficial to us, because we never get those chances.

The dorm manager at Tanashi II was super nice and the food was always delicious!

The field trip to Yamanashi Prefecture was an incredible experience and provided really interesting historical and cultural information.

We went on a day-trip to Yamanashi Prefecture, which was a highlight of my trip. We got to see Mt. Fuji, a traditional replica village, a peach farm, and a temple. Later on, I was also able to visit Asakusa through KCP, and learn about the rich history and culture it brings to Tokyo. My favorite parts about my trip were learning about Japan’s culture and how it brings together its old and new aspects.

Most productive was the fact that I intensively learned a language for barely 2 months and was able to make of most Japanese conversations in certain scenarios. Interesting was Japanese way of life compared to America’s.
