AYFN cordially invite you to participate in the Summer Japan Culture Camp 2024 in Osaka. Discover the various cultures and experiences in life! Japan is a country that successfully blends modernism with oriental tradition!

Experience Japan with the Japan Culture Camp Program offered by AYFN this summer. It’s a brief immersion program in Japanese language and culture for students and young people. International participants, regardless of their Japanese proficiency, are welcome. The program includes daily activities, cultural outings, and English as the main communication tool.

AYFN Academy collaborates with a local group to broaden foreign visitors’ awareness of Japan. The goal is to instill language appreciation and cultural open-mindedness in the next generation. Participants will return with a deeper understanding of Japan, a foundation in the language, and unforgettable experiences.

Japan Culture Camp by AYFN, since 2015, offers cultural learning and social awareness. It’s not a student exchange but a youth and cultural exchange exposure program. Participants learn about Japanese culture firsthand and enhance skills for globalization.
