PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS 
• Experience the world-renowned culture of Tokyo while living in the heart of the city alongside local students.
• Offering the best of modern and traditional Japan, the Language and Culture Program is designed for students to complete their semester with a higher level of Japanese complemented by a deeper understanding of the social life and culture of Japan.   
• Join a campus group to connect with the local student community – from sports to a club devoted to eating Udon – there's a little something for everyone to enjoy at TIU! 
• Enjoy the modern conveniences of Tokyo by taking a weekend trip to the countryside on a bullet train or digging into conveyor belt sushi with your new group of international friends. 

LIFE ABROAD  
Enjoy the dynamic energy of Tokyo while living in Ikebukuro, a central neighborhood that offers quick access to public transportation, popular shopping centers, and delicious restaurants.

VOLUNTEER 
Students in the past have volunteered with Tsunami cleanup groups in Northern Japan, service groups that work with physically and mentally handicapped children, English-education events for children, and on local organic farms.  

What We Love About TIU 
We love that TIU offers unmatched opportunities to immerse yourself in Japanese culture while studying alongside a diverse international student body. You’ll be paired with a Peer Assistant who serves as a buddy and helps plan activities together throughout the semester. Whether you're attending a Japanese tea ceremony or practicing your language skills with your host family, there’s no shortage of experiences that will connect you to everyday life in Tokyo.
