Immersion Program
Japan hiWays’ immersion programs aim to provide language learners with an opportunity to be living in Japan and be immersed in the local
culture and language and to feel the pulse of their lifestyle.
Unique Japan Immersion Program
Our Japan immersion program is specially designed for Japanese language learners. Yumiko and her team will
facilitate the natural interaction and enriching experience with the local people in Japan.
The many opportunities offered in the program to use the Japanese language will enhance the participants’ language learning interest and
capacity, and even more so when friends are made. Homestaying with a family enable more lasting interaction and future correspondence. It will be
an unforgettable experience, not just in soaking the beauty of the land (available in most guided tours), but a first-hand appreciation of their
language, culture, thoughts and passion.
Tokyo-Saitama-Manza: An Experience Of Living In Japan
In this immersion program, participants will get to experience different situations, places and people. We will be exploring:
- Tokyo - a big metropolitan city
- Saitama - a satellite city of Tokyo, and
- Manza - a place endowed with much natural beauty as well as famous hot springs
We will be interacting with Japanese people of different age groups over various natural settings, such as the Language Friendship Camp,
“Amazing Race-like” challenges and fun, discover Saitama, etc.
Our uniquely designed immersion program brings together homestay, exchange, community service, nature trekking and a free and easy time in
Tokyo. This experience, we believe, is only the beginning of friendship and bonding among our participants and the Japanese!
