I enjoyed the trip to Yamanashi. It's an area that I wouldn't have thought of to visit before and it was really nice to get out of Tokyo for the day.

Sarah from Summer Short 2015

I thought the two week group session was a great way to have an intense review before the main classes started. While I didn’t enjoy the hours, I think having that much of concentrated Japanese studying really helped me improve.

I like the fast paced, but in-depth way the teachers went through each of the lessons.

Yalimar from Summer Short 2015

I felt like I learned so much in my short 2 months here; much more than I have learned in 2 years of Japanese classes at my home university.

I thought the bus trip was fantastic.

Ross from Summer Short 2015

It was nice to have a chance to get out of Tokyo and see the country side. Especially since Summer Short term students don’t have a lot of chances to do that.

I really liked our trip to Yamanashi and the speech contest.

Haley from Summer Short 2015

Be ready to be challenged academically and always be open to try new things! Whether its traveling to unknown area of Tokyo or tasting food you would never imagine eating, give a shot, you’ll never know until you try. And as long as you’re super serious with your language studies, you will definitely exceed and succeed in this program!

The greatest dorm experience I have ever had in my life!

Maggie from Summer Short 2015

The dorm itself is absolutely gorgeous, and my room itself was the biggest I’ve ever had in a dorm setting.

I enjoyed the tea ceremony and learning the Japanese customs involved in this.

Hazel from Spring 2015

I found the textbooks most helpful plus the English support classes with Kato sensei, she was a great support. We didn’t do too many games but I do think they are a good idea to make learning more fun and enjoyable.

KCP is a great choice if you are looking to improve your Japanese language skill while experiencing everything Japan has to offer.

Manuel from Spring 2015

The school will make sure that your experience is enjoyable, and they will do their best to accommodate to your needs. If you have never been to Japan and want to experience studying in this country I highly recommend KCP. They will give you the true “Japan school life experience.”

I enjoyed the overnight trip a lot. I thought it was necessary to "bond" with the people in our program.

Jaking from Spring 2015

I enjoyed being able to participate. I really liked it when my teacher told us to come up with our own examples to share. I thought that was very engaging and very fun.

I love that the school is in the heart of Tokyo and that all the classes are in Japanese. Since the classes are taught only in Japanese it pushes me to study more.
