Learn Japanese in Kanazawa
Japanese Immersion in Japan
Learning Japanese abroad in Kanazawa, Japan is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Somewhere between the elegant formality of Japanese manners and the candid, between the sanitized shopping malls and the unexpected rural festivals, everyone finds their own vision of Japan. Whether you end up taking photos of a reproduction Eiffel Tower, surfing an indoor wave, or taking a nap in a capsule, you will do best to come with an open mind and be prepared for surprise.
Learn Japanese Language in Japan:
Kanazawa is located on the coast of Honshu, Japan’s main island. Not only is Kanazawa’s natural scenery a colorful delight year-round, but every seasonal change is so carefully celebrated in traditional cuisine, decor, and yearly events, that one comes to feel as if there are many more than four seasons. It is a modern city, even though it was built in the 15th century, and is one of Japan’s foremost castle towns. The city boasts many places of interest, such as 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.
School Facilities:

Located in the city center, a few minutes walk to the main train station, the Yokoyasue-Cho shopping area, and the Omicho Market. 5 classrooms, lecture room, quiet study room, and student leisure area.
