I found my room to be very comfortable and easy to live in.

Katie from 2014

Overall, I found the dorm to be in a very pleasant location not too far from the station and supermarket. It was also a short trip to school, which made getting home not a worry at all.

It's a great program for people who want to quickly improve their Japanese.

Colette from 2014

I went from being unable to speak Japanese to a native speaker without feeling embarrassed to being able to ask strangers for help, or restaurant workers for their recommendations.

The tea ceremony was very immersive of the Japanese culture.

Alberto from 2014

Sharing the tea ceremony with so many internationally different people with Japanese as the one unifying factor was very nice.

The speech contest was extremely fun and energetic.

Elizabeth from 2014

I feel all of the students had a chance to try hard, perform for each other and the Sensei, and bond. Also, the group sessions and activities offered to the summer short US students was a great help!

KCP is the whole package.

Rachel from 2013

If you are in doubt, don’t be! KCP has far exceeded my expectations. Also, spend the little extra to be in a host family. I received so many more invaluable experiences and more chances to practice my Japanese than those in the dorms.
