An authentic experience
January 17, 2026by: Andreas P - SwedenWorld Campus International (WCI) was a fantastic experience and a major highlight of my summer. I signed up for the last session which was a three week program, held in Inzai, Abiko and Tama. Having had the unique opportunity to live with an actual Japanese family as opposed to a hotel, I came to see a completely different side of the country than what I initially had in mind. This experience later motivated me to start a beginner course in Japanese to hopefully be able to better maintain the relationships I made while there. Even while not spending time with my foster family, the rest of the program gave me ample opportunities to immerse myself in not only the culture but also the history and lifestyle that Japan had to offer. WCI staff were understanding of participants needs, and constantly made efforts to make the entire participating group feel welcome. I can comfortably say that there were no issues I ran into that I couldn't either discuss or outright solve with the help of the staff team. I wholeheartedly recommend WCI for anyone looking to intensify their experience in Japan, and get a more lively experience that just roaming around cluelessly. My trip has not only improved my understanding of the country but also given me a reason to come back. I'd rate the experience 5/5 on any day, ありがとうございます WCI。
A truly unique and unforgettable experience!
November 30, 2025by: Elias H - United KingdomThe World Campus - Japan Programme met and exceeded my expectations. It is a one of a kind experience that allows you to visit numerous cities, connect with a range of host families and meet like-minded people from around the world who want to make a positive impact! The staff are attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. They provide support to participants, encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones and try something new everyday. You have the opportunity to visit schools, communities and businesses whilst exploring each city! The programme has changed me and enabled me to see the world from a different perspective, which I highly value, appreciate and cherish. Thank you World Campus family!

Unforgettable Summer
October 14, 2025by: Beverley Andam - United KingdomI always knew that Japan was one of my top travel destinations, but I wanted a unique cultural experience. My summer in Japan was truly unforgettable thanks to World Campus! I was able to meet so many kind and friendly people during my 3 weeks in Japan. I developed strong connections with my host families and continue to stay in touch with them all! With World Campus, I was able to experience true day-to-day Japanese life and culture in a way I could have never experienced as a tourist on my own. Our activities ranged from receiving exclusive tours, visiting cultural heritage spots and fun school visits. Being able to try authentic home cooked meals alongside popular restaurants, attending festivals and wearing traditional kimonos are only a few of the activities I was able to enjoy. We also had free days to explore Japan in addition to the fun activities prepared on the programme!

I've always wanted to travel and experience different cultures. I like communicating with people and finding out more about any culture that is not my own. I believe that the world is so incredibly vast that we get to have many opportunities to see new sceneries and meet new people.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
After joining the Japan program two times, I could not get enough of it. However, when I learned that some of the friends I made during the program were working for World Campus, it inspired me to experience the program in a different way. The staff that I had worked with while I participated was also a motivation for me to become staff myself, because I looked up to them and wanted to be as accomplished as they were.
