Welcome to Japan!

Canada and Japan have enjoyed, over many years, the benefits and rewards of international education. We are fortunate that we are able to give our children an opportunity to learn about each other's culture and provide them with a balanced view of the world from an early age. In this day and age, it is particularly important that we nurture this cultural understanding amongst all of our children. In Canada, more than twenty thousand people are learning Japanese today. We also embrace almost 70 sister city relationships, and there are some 160 sister school charters between our nations. These are just a few examples of the ongoing cultural exchanges that are taking place.

Your students will discover not only the historical heritage of Japan but also its friendly people when you visit our country. Students will also discover with awe the modern technology and cultural diversity of Japan today. During their visit, we would love for them all to experience these different aspects of Japan, firsthand.

We are proud of the safety and cleanliness of our country as well as its natural beauty – a beauty that is constantly surprising because of the dramatic changes that mark the transitions between the four distinct seasons.

Discover our country with all of your senses. We are waiting to welcome all Canadian students.
