Spend your summer immersed in a new culture and environment! Join our summer camp in Japan. What makes Ayusa so special? We pride ourselves on teaching Japanese and providing you with a complete cultural immersion experience. You learn the cultural differences between your country and Japan through daily excursions, such as visiting the unique Tokyo districts of Akihabara and Harajuku. Anyone can provide tourist-like activities. However, unlike other programs, Ayusa offers various opportunities to interact with local people. Volunteer at Japanese elementary schools, make friends at a Japanese high school, and visit Japanese households. Just as Ayusa students from Japan have been able to experience America fully through personal interactions, we now provide you with the chance to do the same in Japan.

Program Highlights

Gain valuable volunteering experience by teaching and planning activities for Japanese children—something you can use to your advantage.

Attend Japanese language classes with a student-to-teacher ratio of about 10:1 and certified teachers with many years of experience.

Deepen your exchange experience by visiting a Japanese high school and local home and making lifelong friends.

Explore the unique Tokyo districts, take part in Japanese cooking and calligraphy lessons, see the Buddhist temple in Asakusa, head to the fashion district of Harajuku, and do so much more.

Visit the world-famous Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park near the base of Mt. Fuji, known for its intense, thrilling roller coasters and haunted houses.
