Explore Japan

“Everyone was extremely welcoming, with a sense of hospitality that could rival Ireland’s. Especially in Seiryo, where I went to school, people were often very confident and hilarious! Everyone was eager to converse with me, and extremely kind when I visited their clubs or tried to join their activities” Vanessa, past Japan participant

This exciting programme will take you to beautiful Japan for four weeks. During this time, you will live with a host family, visit school and act as an Ambassador for Ireland, sharing Irish culture and tradition as you learn about that of Japan. The Award is fully funded by EIL.
