Tokyo & Osaka Summer Program 2025

You can take the course in two cities: Tokyo and Osaka!

We recommend participating in summer programs in both Tokyo and Osaka, Japan’s two largest cities. It offers a unique opportunity to explore their different cultures, histories, and industries. Additionally, the program features a wide range of experiences, from rich food culture to exciting entertainment options. We hope you enjoy everything these two cities have to offer through this summer program!
