The spring term undoukai was so much fun!

Brenna from 2012

! I particularly enjoyed how all of the classes in the school were brought together to experience this uniquely Japanese event (undoukai). I think it produced a sense of unity throughout the school, which made the event incredibly fun and a nice little break from studying while still being immersed in Japanese culture.

The culture trips and intensive classes were very useful and interesting.

Ayomikun from 2012

The Kamakura trip was my favorite as it gave me a great opportunity to experience a side of Japan completely contrary to Tokyo and to spend some recreational time with my classmates.

My teachers made this program amazing.

Brian from 2012

The first day of class may seem a little intimidating, especially due to the fact that most of your classmates won’t be able to speak English. However everyone is there to learn and have a fun time doing so, so just remember to take it easy and make a bunch of friends!

The trip to Narai-Juku and Matsumoto Castle was my favorite event. The students and faculty had a chance to bond before official classes started.

Get out there and learn.

Spencer from 2012

Stop speaking English. It is hard, but do it. Even with English friends, don’t let it happen.

Testimonials

Frankly, it seemed like the best. The other programs I looked at were either heavily geared towards Chinese and Korean students or prohibitively expensive. Plus, KCP has a long history and a LOT of alumni who openly praise the program online — and I hope to be among them!
