Knowing Japanese history and culture is very important for foreign exchange students who wish to use what they have learned in Japan when seeking jobs with Japanese companies and becoming an active member of the Japanese society after graduation.
This program can help you by teaching the highlights of Japanese history and culture through lectures and providing opportunities to experience traditional culture up-close. Moreover, you will have a chance to visit Himeji castle which is world heritage site in the company of local high school students.
By experiencing the same things, both the foreign exchange students and local high school students can discover the differences in their cultural values which will lead to a deeper understanding of one another.
