If the idea of studying Japanese in Tokyo is exciting for you, but also intimidating due to the idea of moving to such a large and hectic foreign city, then make life easier for yourself by living and studying with your teacher on HLI’s home tuition programme might be the ideal solution.
Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world, but with the help of your host family you will learn the very best ways to move around this giant city, and also where to go to find anything that you’re looking for - because no matter what it is, Tokyo is sure to have it somewhere. If you’re looking for a culture that celebrates anime, video games, and manga then this is the place for you - but there is so much more than that.
All of your meals will be provided by your hosts on this full-board programme. HLI asks that guests contact their Local Organisers working in Tokyo to resolve any issues they may experience during the programme.
