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

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.)

COVID-19 Information
[Important] Possibility of change from TUJP In-Person to TUJP Online-Intensive
重要:TUJP In-Person からTUJP Online-Intensiveへの変更可能性について
TUJP In-Person might be canceled if it is impossible to conduct a face-to-face program with travel to Japan as of May 15th, 2022. In that case, TUJP Online-Intensive will be offered entirely online during the same period. 2022年5月15日に日本への渡航を伴う対面式プログラムの実施が不可能と決定された場合、[TUJP In-Person]を中止する可能性があります。その場合、[TUJP Online-Intensive]を同時期に全てオンラインでおこないます。
Applicants who apply for TUJP In-Person will have the option to join TUJP Online-Intensive if TUJP In-Person is canceled. [TUJP In-Person]に応募された方は、[TUJP In-Person]が中止になった場合、[TUJP Online-Intensive]に参加することができます。
The Japanese language requirements for TUJP Online-Intensive are different from TUJP In-Person as noted above. [TUJP Online-Intensive]は、上記の通り[TUJP In-Person]とは必要な日本語能力が異なります。
If it is decided on May 15, 2022 to conduct TUJP Online-Intensive, and if the number of applicants has not yet reached the maximum limit, the application deadline for TUJP Online-Intensive will be June 20th. 2022年5月15日に [TUJP Online-Intensive]の実施が決定した時点で、定員に達していない場合は、 [TUJP Online-Intensive]の申し込み締め切りは6月20日となります。
Even if it is decided as of May 15, 2022 to offer TUJP In-Person, the program may be still cancelled later due to the spread of COVID-19. In that case, any travel cancelation fees incurred by the applicants will not be refunded by Tohoku University. 2022年5月15日時点で[TUJP In-Person]の実施が決定していても、その後COVID-19の蔓延によりプログラムが中止になる可能性があります。その場合、中止によって生じた費用は、東北大学からは一切返金されません。
One of our criterion for holding the course is that the government lifts immigration restrictions and begins allowing visaless travelers to enter Japan as of May 15, 2022. However, we will comprehensively consider other factors too. 2022年5月15日の時点で、政府による入国制限がなくなり、ビザなしの旅行者も制限なく入国可能になっていることが、実施可否の判断基準の一つです。その他の状況も総合的に判断して実施の可否を判断します。
