What is Individual School Experience?

Japanese Individual School Experience is an opportunity for high school students to immerse themselves in the fascinating culture of Japan. Studying abroad with VS Oceania’s school program in Japan provides students with a glimpse into a culture with a rich history and unique cultural traditions. Individual School Experience students in Japan learn first-hand what it is like to attend high school with Japanese peers and experience Japanese life by staying with a host family.

Homestay

To experience authentic Japanese daily life, home stays with a host family are recommended. We guarantee that it will be a memorable language and culture exchange, with the host family learning as much from you as you will from them. All our host families are screened and checked to ensure the safety of our students.

When to go

Summer holidays January is a good time for visiting Japan, as the weather is usually sunny and dry, and sightseeing spots are not crowded. In northern Japan and along the Sea of Japan coast, there is lots of snowfall, and conditions are good for winter sports. April school holidays April is often considered the best time to visit Japan because the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in most regions of the country and the weather is pleasantly mild. October school holidays Early October is one of the most pleasant months for travelling in Japan as the weather remains warm, but is not hot and humid. Trees begin turning colours in the northern regions and higher elevations.
