Snow Fun in Hokkaido's capital
March 17, 2026by: Valeen Winters - New ZealandMeiji did a great job with this very well structured program and did not save on a good bunch of activities and winter sports I could engage into. I loved my classes but just found it to be a small drawback that you cannot choose between classes being scheduled either in the morning or afternoon depending of your level.
My best Winter I've had so far
March 17, 2026by: Vincenzo Calabrese - ItalyThe activities, sightseeing trips, overall organization of social gatherings with fellow Japanese locals and the full hands-on support was simply top notch! I've wholeheartedly enjoyed my time with these guys and hope to visit Hokkaido again! Grazie mille!

March 17, 2026by: Valentine Mackenzie - AustraliaProgram: Study Japanese in Hokkaido
The past three months passed by so quick. Looking back at my time here I made a lot of long lasting friendships, got really close with my host family and also planned my next steps. I did quite a unique preparation studies before starting my JET teaching program here in Hokkaido and I'm glad I did it with Meiji! This school felt more than just learning Japanese. It is my spot to get back when homesickness kicks in and the community here is really warmhearted. The best thing is even if you are a graduate you can always come back and join their social events and language exchanges. Once a Meiji student, always a Meiji student!♡

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.
