So much experience in the classroom. Emily - Michigan State University View Entire Review
In this month-long program, I gained valuable experience and first-hand observations that taught me ten times more than all my other courses did back at Michigan State.

While you are at JCMU, you will discover the historic city of Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, right in the heart of Honshu (the main island of Japan). Built as a castle town during the early 1600s, Hikone retains much of its original charm. Spend your time visiting sites such as Hikone Castle, one of only twelve Japanese castles to remain in its original construction. After a day of sightseeing, head back to our campus directly on the shores of Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan and the third oldest lake in the entire world.
Program offerings change on an annual basis depending on which faculty we work with, so keep an eye out for what we offer next year if none of this year's programs interest you.
