This isn’t your typical teen program – this is a life-changing journey into the heart of Japan.

The Ordinary vs. The Extraordinary

Most teen programs in Japan follow a predictable pattern: generic language classes, rushed sightseeing, and experiences that barely scratch the surface of Japanese culture.

But what if there was a program that does something completely different? A program that doesn’t just show you Japan, but lets you live it?

Testimonials: Transformations in Their Own Words

Our students don’t just learn. They undergo a profound personal transformation:  

“I can honestly say that coming to Local Life Japan was one of the greatest decisions of my life! As a 19 year old on my gap year after high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life when my mum showed me this place. In a month I went from knowing only Hiragana and Katakana to being able to have full conversations in Japanese and make friends in a whole new part of the world. I couldn’t recommend Local Life Japan more!” – Nika, Australia  

“A fantastic Japanese language & cultural school. Although I have been to Japan for many times, the two weeks I spent here was definitely among my most wonderful experiences. If you want to learn Japanese (either as a hobby or as a necessary skill) and are interested in Japanese life & culture, this place is perfect for you.” – ChenYi, China  

“I had SUCH an amazing experience! Local Life Japan offers creative and fun cultural activities that also allow you to learn things you won’t be able to learn from a textbook. I definitely recommend them. The knowledge and memories you will receive from this place will stick with you forever. Local Life Japan is more than a school, it’s a community!” – Katerina, Australia  

“I had an amazing experience during my one-month immersion programme with Local Life Japan. This programme is perfect for anyone interested in learning Japanese while experiencing the rich culture and traditions of Japan. One of the strongest aspects of this programme was the cultural activities. Each activity gave me the chance to interact with different local guests, practice my Japanese and learn more about Japanese customs.” – Ye, Myanmar
