Overview of KOMSTUDY

KOMSTUDY is designed for students of exchange partner universities of Komazawa Univesiry.

KOMSTUDY is a Japanese language and culture program organized by Komazawa University. The program will mark its 35th anniversary in 2026. Participants engage in a three-week or four-week program that includes Japanese Language Classes, Cultural Experiences, and Field Trips, contributing to a deeper understanding of the Japanese language and culture. This program is open to students who have never studied Japanese, with a focus on sparking interest in Japan. It also provides an excellent opportunity with students who have already studied Japanese but not yet visited Japan.

Throughout the program, many Komazawa University students actively support participants during Japanese language classes and cultural experiences. Spending a significant amount of time with Komazawa University students, one of the appealing aspects of KOMSTUDY, enable participants to make friends with Japanese students during the program.
