Kicking it off in the NorthđŻđ”
June 27, 2026by: Casper Blades - New ZealandProgram: Study Japanese in Hokkaido
One hell of an adventure! Japan felt like a roller coaster and itâs definitely hit a good spot doing my first travel to Japan not a busy city like Tokyo or Osaka. Sapporo was amazing and I loved my school a lot. The teaching was pretty smooth and the activities were my favorite. Be back in Japan soon. Peace
All went well

I had a very packed and intense week with my Bildungszeit in Hokkaido but wonât regret even a second of it. The events were much fun and it was great to meet local Japanese at some of them. For next time two weeks is definitely less of a rush.
Hit just the right spot

Studies been a bit overwhelming but I have to admit my Japanese became rusty. My two weeks in Sapporo flew by so quickly that I almost forgot that it all just ended. I love my instructors and also the very structured course. Highly recommend.

Iâve 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 Iâve 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.

Iâve always been curious about the world beyond my own little bubble. Thatâs 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 itâs 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. Japanâs mix of tradition and modernity fascinated me.
