Japanese language exchange

Our students were fully immersed in Japanese language and culture on the unforgettable Japan Study Tour.

From staying with warm and welcoming host families who prepared daily bento boxes, to attending Radford’s sister school, Konko Gakuen, they experienced Japanese life firsthand – learning traditional games, cooking, art, calligraphy and even participating in a tea ceremony.

They explored Hiroshima’s history and the beauty of Miyajima Island, stood in awe at Kyoto’s temples, wandered the streets of Takayama and embraced the buzz of Tokyo, enjoying karaoke, shrines, museums, markets, Universal Studios and more.

'Living with a Japanese family allowed us to immerse ourselves in the culture in a way that no classroom ever could' – Year 10 student, Methmal.
