Study Abroad Japan
Japan is a highly rewarding country for foreign
exchange students. It offers temples, shrines, and beautiful Japanese
gardens; kabuki, the treasured form of theater utilizing intricate scenery,
costumes, and makeup; and sumo wrestling and kendo, the sword fighting
of the samurai. And there is Japanese art, from woodblock printing to
tattooing.
Through
all Japan's modernity runs a deep reverence for the past and a fervent
belief in tradition that makes travel in the country a very positive
and rewarding experience.
As in most congested metropolitan areas of the world, Japan's city dwellers
aren't as friendly and warm as residents in more rural areas—but generally
the people of Japan are quite ingratiating. Although 20th-century technology
plays a powerful role in the daily life of the Japanese, most Japanese
maintain a centuries-old tradition of hospitality and graciousness.
In any case, the rewards and burdens of the West are found in much higher
concentrations in Japan's urban areas—but you can find many glimpses
into Japan's past in the traditional architecture and slower-paced lifestyle
of the countryside.
There is much to learn from Japan that will influence your life forever.
The beauty of the land, the changing views of Mount Fuji, and the contradictions
and complexities of its culture are never forgotten.
