Program Description:
Cultural and Linguistic Diversity in Japan

In this 4-week program, you will learn about the linguistics, language, and culture of Japan by immersing yourself in the city of Kyoto. Each week, your coursework and excursions will explore different themes: food and language, writing, gender and language, and dialects. Program excursions will include a multi-day trip to Tokyo, a day trip to Nara, and various cultural sights in Kyoto and Osaka.

Kyoto was once the capital of Japan and is famous for its many temples, shrines, gardens, and traditional wooden houses. Located in Japan’s Kansai region, Kyoto is one of Japan’s most popular tourist destinations and is home to many iconic cultural sights, including the red torii gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera temple, and Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion. Kyoto’s location also offers easy access to other parts of Japan: Osaka, Kobe, Nara, and Nagoya can be reached in less than an hour by train, and Tokyo is just 2.5 hours away by high-speed Shinkansen (bullet train).
