• All Other Areas: 
Kanazawa

Durations of Program: 2-4 weeks and 5-8 weeks
Dates: June - 8th July - 6th August - 3rd, 2008

Description: Our school is located in the nicest part of Kanazawa, in the heart of the city center and is within a few minutes walking distance to the main train station and the Yokoyasue-Cho shopping area.

The main street and Omicho Market are only 3 blocks away and most places of interest, including parks, museums, historic buildings are within walking distance or a short bus ride away.

The school is housed in the modern International Exchange Center which is an architecturally attractive building located on the corner of two streets. The small modern school is very relaxed, students and teachers form a friendly atmosphere.

Highlights: Kanazawa is located on Honshu, Japan's Main Island, and lies on the coast between the mountains and the sea. It is a modern city yet has a history and is one of Japan's foremost castle towns.

The city was built in the 15th century and was the richest walled city in Japan during the Edo period and boasts many places of historic and aesthetic interest: the splendid Kenrokuen, known as one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan, and lshikaw a-mon, the commanding gate to the old castle grounds.

In Kanazawa, one is acutely aware of the change in seasons. Not only is Kanazawa's natural scenery a colorful delight year-round, but every seasonal change is so carefully celebrated in Kanazawa's traditional cuisine, decor and yearly events that one comes to feel as if there are many more than four seasons.

Cost in US$: 2 weeks from $2250 USD
