Kobe, a fashionable city

Since the opening of the port in 1868, the international city of Kobe has been a gateway to the world and a driving force behind the modernization of Japan.

Surrounded by beautiful mountains and the sea, Kobe is known as a "fashionable city" as it has developed its own unique style through incorporating a variety of foreign cultures since ancient times. It s famous for Kobe beef, Arima Onsen, one of Japans three oldest and three most famous hot springs, and is also home to one of Japan's best sake breweries. One of the best features of the city is the relaxed, laid-back atmospere that exists there, despite it being a big city.

In addition, students will deepen their understanding of Japan and the language through experiencing Japanese customs and culture, and learning about Japanese rules and manners, and the Japanese way of thinking.
