About

Japan offers a little something for everyone. Home to 37 million people, Tokyo is the country’s thriving core of culture, art, history, cuisine, economics. Immerse yourself in Japan’s sprawling capital city, Tokyo, while studying in the field of your choice for a semester. If you're looking for a slower pace, Kofu is another great choice. Conveniently located just a 90-minute train ride from the world’s most populous city, experience a cozy, authentic feel while living in Kofu, located at the foot of Mount Fuji. You also won’t have to go far to find a delicious, perfectly prepared meal. While the sushi is to die for, the country has so much more to offer with highly regional and seasonal cuisine wherever you study abroad in Japan.

Japan is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, including majestic mountains like Mount Fuji, serene cherry blossom gardens, and picturesque coastal areas.
