We regret to inform you that we will not be accepting individual applications for TUJP In-Person or TUJP Online-Intensive for Term 2,

Instead, this year we are considering holding a special pilot face-to-face program, focusing on participants from specific universities.

We apologize to those who were thinking about applying.
Those who have already applied will be contacted individually.

We are still accepting applications for TUJP Online-Basic for Term 1.
Also, we hope to conduct other online and in-person programs this winter.
We look forward to receiving your applications for those.

TUJP Buddy Program　TUJPバディプログラム

The "TUJP Buddy Program" will run online during this program. Each TUJP student will be matched with one or two local Japanese “buddy” students for cross-cultural exchange and interaction. We believe that current students can help TUJP students by sharing their experiences, providing insights into university life, and responding to questions and concerns. It’s also a great way to make friends and practice Japanese!

さらに、東北大学生があなたの「バディ」となって、プログラム中の学習をサポートします。また、東北大学生とのワークショップでは、日本の文化や学生生活にも触れることができます。

Field Trip (Optional)

TUJP In-Person Only: We provide two optional field trips for you to experience and learn about Japanese culture/history in depth at some of the famous local sites.

A participation fee (approx. JPY 6,000~7,000) will apply. (More details will be announced later.)
