Super Zeit in Hokkaido
June 05, 2026by: Matthias Lange - GermanyProgram: Bildungsurlaub (Germany)
Mein Aufenthalt in Hokkaido war einfach nur spitze und das ist nichts zuletzt zu verdanken wegen Meiji. Die Lehrer waren sehr erfahren und Geduld haben den Fragen der Studenten. Die anderen Studentenbetreuer waren auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vor allen Dingen haben wir die Aktivitäten sehr gefallen. Ich war einmal bei einer echten Katana Schwertprüfung und auch unser Ausflug nach Mount Moiwa war super spannend. Hokkaido hat einfach so viel zu bieten und so viel zu entdecken dass eine Woche Bildungszeit nicht ausgereicht hat. Es ist auf jeden Fall ein Geheimtipp und noch sehr unentdeckt nicht für andere Orte wie Tokio oder Kyoto wo die meisten Touristen hingehen. Wenn du das echte Japan erleben möchtest kann ich auf jeden Fall Hokkaido aber bring viel Zeit mit da ist sehr viel zu entdecken gibt😁
Winter Japanese studies that changed my view
May 18, 2026by: Valentina Turin - FranceI’ve had sooo much fun in Hokkaido and learned the hidden fun up north. The snow activities were much fun. I loved the snow hiking we did to mount moiwa and also the ice festivals they took us to in Sapporo. The classes were fun and instructors paid a lot of attention to maintain an interactive and engaging lessons. Can’t wait to visit again!
My Hokkaido language travel
April 27, 2026by: Shakyra Balin - IrelandCouldn't ask for more, would never thought it to be this way. I had an amazing time with friends in my absolute dream country and going up North during the Winter season is a MUST when visiting Japan! The snow festival was so much fun and the powder snow is another level. Besides the social events I had so much time with the Japanese lessons and the very welcoming instructors. My favorite thing was I did not have homework to do :-P

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.
