KUFS Starts Kyoto Intensive Japanese Program (Summer 2026)!

On Wednesday, July 8, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) kicked off its Kyoto Intensive Japanese Program (Summer 2026).
This year, 25 students from all over the world took part.

The first order of business on Wednesday was an orientation led by the Division of International Affairs, which provided a program overview, a look at its schedule, and some advice and tips for students starting their sojourns in Japan.

Afterward, approximately 20 KUFS students serving as student supporters joined the international students and led them on a campus tour, during which they visited the main facilities on campus and gained a better understanding of what life would be like at KUFS.

Vice President Atsuhito Kurozumi gave a welcome speech to the students and hosted a welcome party.
Throughout this first day of the program, new international students got to know the student supporters and started their study program amid a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere.

Kyoto Intensive Japanese Program (Summer 2026) will continue for roughly three weeks and include Japanese language classes, cultural experiences, off-campus learning opportunities and more.
