Kyoto Study Program
Discover Kyoto's Cultural Depth
Long-term Study in the City of a Thousand Shrines
Kyoto, known as the cultural epicenter of Japan, offers you the opportunity to study Japanese at one of our partner schools for up to two years, surrounded by historic temples, shrines, and traditional gardens. This program allows you to immerse yourself more deeply in Japanese culture, as you can live in Kyoto for an extended period. During your stay, you will live in your own accommodation, with the option of self-catering or being introduced to the secrets of Japanese cuisine by a host family.
Immerse yourself in Kyoto’s fascinating atmosphere and experience firsthand the traditions and lifestyle of the locals. Our comprehensive support accompanies you not only on your journey to Japan but also offers you extensive on-site support in Kyoto.
Our partner schools are centrally located in Kyoto and are the perfect starting point to explore the city in all its facets. From walks through the historic streets to visits to the famous temples and shrines to immersing yourself in the vibrant nightlife – Kyoto will enchant you with its blend of tradition and modernity.

Frequently asked questions
You surely still have questions despite all the information – and that’s completely normal. We would be happy to discuss all your questions, uncertainties, and concerns in a personal conversation.
We have summarized frequently asked questions from our prospective students here.
As soon as you have registered with us, we will check the availability of your desired stay and then organize your accommodation in personal consultation with you. Your registration is only binding after payment at least 30 days before departure. However, if you change your mind after registering, please be fair and let us know as soon as possible, as there may be someone else on the waiting list who would like to take your place.
You will find cost information on the language program and accommodation. No additional costs will be incurred – all fees are already covered.
Unfortunately not. All language schools in Japan divide their classes according to level and number of students, so unfortunately we do not know which group you will be placed in until shortly before school starts. After three months, however, the classes are always reshuffled.
