COMMUNITY STAY
Explore in local lifeTake your first big step into discovering Japan here. Community Stay is a program designed to immerse you in local communities, allowing you to comprehensively learn the language and culture while building meaningful connections with local residents.
Japanese lessons
Japanese lessons are held twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays, each session lasting 90 minutes ( days might be changed). Taught by certified Japanese instructors, the classes are kept small to emphasize interactive communication.
Beyond language learning, you’ll gain practical knowledge, such as insights into Japanese culture, ensuring you’re well-equipped for daily life.
local Community life
At Community House SekaiCo, you’ll encounter local residents from diverse backgrounds. Meeting people with different values and cultures offers a unique opportunity to reflect on your own upbringing and environment, leading to self-discovery.
Every weekend, community events are held, ranging from modern activities like takoyaki parties, okonomiyaki gatherings, and hot pot dinners to more traditional experiences such as calligraphy workshops and shrine visits. These events allow you to immerse yourself in cultural experiences that are seamlessly woven into everyday life, all within the vibrant community setting.
Explore the town
Here, you’ll find something that can only be discovered away from the bustling noise of the city and the relentless pace of daily life. From ancient shrines that preserve the atmosphere of old Japan to a 200-year-old sake brewery and Lake Biwa, one of the world’s oldest lakes, this place is steeped in history and natural beauty.
Beyond the reach of Google Maps or the internet, these hidden gems offer more than just scenery—they provide a chance to reconnect with yourself and uncover new dimensions of who you are.
