I highly recommend KCP for its focused and encouraging program. The opportunity to practice speaking and comprehending Japanese during class, in conversation sessions, and in day-to-day life was an invaluable experience for which I am very grateful. KCP’s staff and instructors are nothing but helpful and there is no question that they are dedicated to the dissemination of the Japanese language. 

—Gabriel Wilkinson

The everyday classes are the most interesting thing for me. KCP is a place where many cultures intersect, and learning how to talk about that intersection in Japanese (sharing your own culture and asking about others) is really fascinating.

The Yamanashi Prefecture bus trip was a wonderful time and I really enjoyed being able to see rural areas outside of Tokyo.

Speaking with Japanese college students was a great opportunity to meet people and practice conversation skills, and I wish we could have spent more time with them.
