Q&A

What does a typical workshop look like?

We will provide you with all the details in advance, but generally, you simply need to arrive at the workshop location at a predetermined time. If the workshop is conducted exclusively in Japanese, a guide will be required. The staff will have been informed of your arrival and your details (name, age, and other relevant information) to ensure the workshop runs smoothly.

I have an idea for a workshop but it's not on the list.

No problem. Share your ideas with us and we'll do our research.

in order to offer you an experience that matches your desires.

The little extra

Our advisors have personally participated in many of the workshops we offer. Therefore, we are able to provide relevant and high-quality workshops. Furthermore, we can communicate directly with our partner institutions, either in person or by phone, to convey your preferences and needs, whether they relate to mobility or health issues, for example.
