    Study Abroad in Tokyo, the World’s Most Populated Metropolis!

    Where is Tokyo?



    Tokyo is the capital city of Japan and is situated on the eastern side of the main Japanese island, called Honshu.

Tokyo is also one of the world’s most important cities, along with London and New York.



    Museums, palaces, tall buildings and old buildings in Tokyo!


    Tokyo’s tall cityscape is what many people think of when picturing this bustling city. This modern part of the city is very popular with tourists and language travel students, but this isn’t all that Tokyo has to offer. The city was badly hit in World War 2 and by an earthquake, however there are still some old parts to the city that you really should check out when here on your foreign language course. You’ll find museums in Old Tokyo as well as many in the modern city too, while other attractions include the port area, the Imperial Palace and the scenic backdrop of Mount Fiji that stands towering above all those skyscrapers!

    What better place for a language immersion than the world’s most populated metropolis?! Tokyo really is a great city for language travel students to get immersed in the Japanese culture and of course learn the language!



    Take in some sporting events in Tokyo!



    Many different sports are popular in Tokyo so you’ll have the opportunity to go and watch a variety of sports when you come here on a foreign language course. There are two professional baseball clubs, and make sure you catch a sumo wrestling tournament!



    Enjoy the internationally acclaimed cuisine in Tokyo!



    Japanese cuisine is famous and popular throughout the world so take advantage of being a language travel student in Tokyo and try out some of the city’s many restaurants. It’s not just sushi, there are many other Japanese foods to try too, or if that’s not to your taste there are also many Western fast food chains and international restaurants that you could try instead.
