The building is located in a quiet residential area, just next to a small public park. In direct vicinity there are numerous convenience stores, a supermarket, restaurants and vending machines. Within a 10 minutes' walk you can reach a large shopping mall with supermarket, many shops and multiplex cinemas, and also the large Kiba Park. All internship placements, many jobs in central Tokyo, and the language schools we cooperate with are easily reachable by subway (Tozai Line and JR Keiyō Line).

Host families

 
Staying with a Japanese host family gives you the possibility to fully immerse into Japanese everyday culture.
 
The families usually live in the outskirts of Tokyo and in the neighbouring prefactures of Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa, as in very central locations of Tokyo there are few apartments that are big enough to accommodate foreign language students besides the actual family. The commuting time by train from the host family to the internship placement, your job, or language school does usually not exceed one hour. A commuter ticket is around 15,000 to 20,000 Yen per month.
 
The host families will serve 2 meals per day (breakfast and dinner) on weekdays and 3 meals per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) on weekends. You will either sleep in a Western bed or on a Japanese futon. There is usually someone at the host family who can speak basic English. The families are usually familiar with foreign guests.
 
The host family accommodation costs are 3500 Yen per night. Additionally, a one-time fee for the arrangement of the host family of 100 EUR is charged, independent of the duration of stay.
 
 

Accommodation on Sado Island

 

Accommodation on Sado Island

 
Accommodation for participants of our Mother Nature Environmental Conservation Camp on the island of Sado (Japan) is at Chokokuji Temple. You will be staying in a fully furnished tent in the attractive garden of the temple. You can choose between a 4-person occupancy, double occupancy, or single occupancy of the tent. Electricity is available in the tent.

There are two showers with hot and cold water available for the tents. The temple's toilet facilities can be used.

Meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are provided in buffet style.

The temple is said to have been founded by the Buddhist saint Kukai in the year 807. It has a large number of cultural assets, including three eleven-headed Kannon statues declared as Nationally Important Cultural Properties, created by the saint himself. Those statues are only unveiled to the public once every 33 years, and the next viewing will be in 2034. Additionally, there are statues of Kongo Rikishi (two wrath-filled guardians of the Buddha) made in the Heian Period (10th-12th century), and Gochido Hall, which is a prefectural cultural asset. In 2018, the current monk, Tomita, added a large stone "rabbit kannon" statue that is dramatically illuminated at night and has gained attention on Japanese TV. In Buddhism, Kannon is a bodhisattva, a being who has achieved enlightenment but chooses to remain in the cycle of birth and death to help all living beings attain liberation. Kannon is particularly associated with compassion.
 
Within the temple's grounds, there are three very large cedar trees to which spiritual powers are attributed. They are estimated to be more than 1000 years old, and there is also a Japanese Umbrella-pine tree that is more than 500 years old. These ancient trees are classified as prefectural natural monuments.
