Known as a high-tech nation, people often forget the rich tradition that runs through the veins of Japan. Our 3 week Traditional Japan study trip gives the ideal opportunity to dive in and explore the history of this amazing country all while learning the language. With trips to Kamakura, Kyoto and a Matsuri, you’ll get a real mix of traditional Japan in a modern setting. Learning about the history of this country as well as the language, there’s no better way to truly understand a place.
We're sure you've heard of karaoke, but have you experienced Japanese style karaoke? In a private booth for your group, two microphones and take it in turns to sing along to your favourite songs. If you are brave enough, why not whip out those Japanese songs you know to impress your new friends! 
Take a trip out of Tokyo down to Kamakura to see the iconic Diabutsu - you might even get a glimpse of Fuji in the distance. 
Japan sure knows how to do festivals and no trip is complete without attending a matsuri. Parades, crowds and food are all in abundance and most of all, they’re great fun. 
No trip to Japan is complete without a trip to a traditional Izakaya for an after-school drink. Bond with your fellow travellers over a drink and some delicious food. 
The art of Tonbodama, or glass ball making, has been used for centuries to make charms and decorations. Try your hand at making your own 'dragonfly eyes'. Traditional Japanese drums commonly known as Taiko are great for making some noise. Watch some professionals at work, then give it a go yourself and see if you have the rhythm. Join this alternative session and learn how to make wagashi - traditional Japanese sweets. See if you can craft with mochi and anko and then, best of all, taste your creations. 
Leaving Tokyo by bullet train in the afternoon, we'll make it to the beautiful city of Kyoto. We will be giving you time to explore the city on your own before a dinner with local specialities and if we're lucky we might catch a rare glimpse of a Maiko/Geisha. Day two and three will include trips to some of the most beautiful scenic spots in Kyoto. Before taking the bullet train back to Tokyo, it's time for some omiyage (souvenir) shopping. Please note that accommodations in Kyoto are in shared rooms, same gender. 
Join us for an afternoon of Japanese culture, held in a traditional setting. Let's start by getting into the right mood and get dressed up in the traditional garment Yukata (a type of Kimono). Then it's time to learn the art of serving and drinking green Japanese matcha tea. Enjoy watching the performance whilst eating a Japanese sweet (Wagashi), often served together with the rich green tea. 
Whether giving a gift or wrapping your lunch, add that truly special touch by learning this beautiful craft. Traditional furoshiki wrapping cloth brings an elegance to make it a true art. The content of the course and the type of activities included might change depending on the situation.
