    Campus:
    The student exchange club organizes many discussion sessions and meetings between people. There are also small mingling parties. The university offers every kind of club you can imagine- judo (which I participated in), horseback riding, all kinds of sports, calligraphy, language exchange programs with other students, and more.
    There are extensive sports facilities, ranging from several gyms to soccer fields, tennis courts, swimming pools, and more. The campus is located outside the city, so it is somewhat far from urban areas, but it is surrounded by beautiful nature.

    A Message to Future Students:
    Japan is such a unique place to live in. There is a language barrier, so I recommend taking one of the Japanese language courses in order to better connect with the local culture. Explore the region’s websites and you’ll see that every week there are local events, ceremonies, and festivals in temples and towns.
    Fly and don’t take the Shinkansen- it turns out to be cheaper. Go out, travel, and explore. And eat a lot.
