Accommodation

Host family
The school has carefully selected a network of host families ready to welcome international students. Students sleep in a single room with half board during the week and full board at the weekend provided. Japanese culture place great importance on hospitality. When a family receives someone, they do it well and are concerned for their guest. Therefore, do not be surprised if you are asked to return home at a specific time each evening. The families mainly live in the residential districts of Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama, around one hour's journey away from the school, which is a good average considering the size of the Japanesse capital. Please note: you will need to allow for around 18'000 yen per month for public transport costs between your accommodation and the school.

Guesthouse/Shared apartment
If you wish to be more independent, and for a minimum stay of one month, it is also possible to stay in a guesthouse or shared apartment in Tokyo. Prices and additional information on request.

You will always find, without any doubt, something to occupy your free time. Wander around Tokyo, from the Meiji Jingu shrine to the Ningyocho ('doll town') district, passing by the "Electric Town" of Akihabara or the elegance of the Imperial Palace...Whether you're a fan of Japanese culture, or thirsty for shopping and the latest gadgets, the city will be able to satisfy all your desires.

The surroundings of Tokyo offer an abundance of activities,  from rock climbing on Mount Fuji, water sports and hiking in summer to ice-skating, skiing and snowboarding in winter. And if you really want to learn the Japanese way of life, don't forget the tea ceremony, flower arrangement, calligraphy or indeed to go to see a sumo match. If you are lucky enough to be in Tokyo at the arrival of spring, « O-Hanami » will be the very traditional occasion to have parties with your friends.
