◆Program Information


Japanese Culture and Society
~Traditional x Modern, Urban x Rural~

Toyo Summer Program Ⅱ 2018 will examine Japanese culture and society, comparing traditional and modern, as well as urban and rural Japan. The program will be a combination of classroom activities, field trips, and experiential learning. Most of the program will take place in Tokyo, but participants will also have an opportunity to do a homestay with Nouka-minshuku (farming families) in Noto, a farming village in Ishikawa Prefecture on the Sea of Japan. While in Noto, participants will experience hands-on field activities such as forest preservation and agriculture. At the end of the program, participants will give presentations on Japan's attractive qualities from an international perspective.
