Culture Discovery: Description of schedule
Before your departure to Japan, you will received host family information and airport pickup information, and pre-departure guide.
We will pick up students at the Tokyo Narita International Airport on the Arrival day (Saturday).
On Monday, it is the day of orientation, but do not buy your commuting pass yet, as the classroom location will be determined by your level and you may have to get off from a different station nearby. You will have the orientation session and take a placement test.
Depends on your level, you will attend either lessons in the morning from 9:10-12:40 pm, or in the afternoon from 1:30 pm or 5:00 pm. Lunch hour is between 12:40 pm to 1:30 pm. Depends on the day, there is either culture activities or free time for the rest of the half day.
Saturday is usually organized day trips and Sunday is free. At the end of the program (and middle of the program for Tokyo C), there is a three day long haul trip to either Fuji Mountain or Kyoto. You will get back from the long haul trip on the last Friday and say with your host family for the last night.
On next day (Saturday morning), you will leave your host family's house to the airport, please note that airport drop off is NOT arranged.
