Couldn't get enough of Meiji!
March 02, 2026by: Micaela Pellins - United StatesProgram: Bildungsurlaub (Germany)
I went for my two weeks Bildungsurlaub to Hokkaido and ended up coming back for another regular studies for a whole month! The instructors, flexible and easy going classes combined with outstanding social activities made me fall in love with Hokkaido! Can't put it in words but you will find a new home away from home there. I indisputably recommend Sapporo over any other city. The perfect balance between bustling city life up in Scandinavian Japan and unbeatable nature. Highly recommend.
Powder Snowboarding with Nihongo
February 27, 2026by: Michael Goodwin - United KingdomProgram: Study Japanese in Hokkaido
I spent the last three months in Hokkaido with Meiji Academy and my time was bloody amazing. I loved the instructors and their passion to always help me out with all my questions. The snow sports were the highlight of my trip. And yes I felt in love with the hot springs. I will definitely get back to Noboribetsu again. Loved it!
Cuatro semanas inolvidables aprendiendo japonés en Hokkaido
February 25, 2026by: Tiago Jesus - SpainProgram: Study Japanese in Hokkaido
Pasé cuatro semanas increíbles estudiando japonés comunicativo en Hokkaido en clases pequeñas. Los profesores eran muy dinámicos y siempre hacían que las lecciones fueran prácticas, interactivas y fáciles de entender. Me encantó que habláramos japonés desde el primer día, con muchas actividades en pareja y juegos que hacían el aprendizaje muy divertido. Gracias al ambiente cercano de las clases, pude ganar confianza rápidamente y mejorar mi fluidez en situaciones reales. Por las tardes había muchas actividades sociales, lo que me permitió hacer amigos internacionales y seguir practicando japonés de una manera natural.

I’ve always been curious about other cultures and wanted to challenge myself by living somewhere completely different from home. Japan, in particular, fascinated me because of its unique blend of tradition and modernity, and I’ve loved the language and culture for years. Going abroad was a chance to really dive into that world, not just as a tourist, but by living day-to-day life there.

I’ve always been curious about the world beyond my own little bubble. That’s really what pushed me to go abroad. I wanted to challenge myself, try something totally new, and get out of my comfort zone. Learning a new language while actually living in the country where it’s spoken felt like the perfect way to do that.

What inspired me to go abroad, especially to Japan, was the chance to experience something completely new. I had never been there before and wanted to immerse myself in a culture so different from my own. Japan’s mix of tradition and modernity fascinated me.
