GO! GO! NIHON

What is a Study Trip?

Study Trips by Go! Go! Nihon are your chance to live and study in a Japan for a short time, while experiencing the culture through a range of unique and fun activities. The trips last between two to four weeks and encompass your language lessons, cultural activities, and accommodation.

Our Japanese Study Trips are the perfect way to experience Japan, the language, and the culture in a short amount of time – a great option for those who can’t commit to learning at a language school long-term, or those who are looking for a more immersive experience.

Whether you’re interested in pop culture, traditional Japanese culture, Japan during the spring, or something else entirely, you’ll find a trip for you in our offerings. Experience a Japanese tea ceremony one day and visit the Ghibli Museum the next; or start your week stepping into a traditional yukata and finish it off with a karaoke session.

Stress-free travel

Our experienced Study Trips team plans and organizes your entire experience, so you only need to worry about booking your flights. We take away the stress, so you can focus on immersing yourself in travel.

Make friends for life

Our Japanese Study Trips attract people from all over the world. Your fellow travelers will not only be immediate travel buddies, but you’ll leave Japan with global friendships and irreplaceable memories.

Awesome tour leaders

Our trip leaders are the best, if we do say so ourselves! They’re experts in Japanese culture and language, know all the best spots to visit, and will support you fully during your trip.

A taste of Japan life

Maybe you’ve thought about living in Japan, but aren’t sure if you’d like it? Study Trips are a fantastic way to see if living in Japan longer term is for you.
