What is a BUDDY?
Japanese BUDDYs from Ritsumeikan University will be here for you to support your life at Ritsumeikan. They will only speak in Japanese for you to fully immerse in the Japanese language. It will not be a 1-on-1 system but they will assist you in groups.
What’s the merit?
You will have opportunities to practice speaking Japanese and learn about Japanese culture. You can also interact and learn about recent Japanese pop culture, trending words, anime, and many other topics. BUDDYs might even become your life-long friends that you can meet even after program period.
Close to World Heritage Sites
Our campus is located in the north west part of Kyoto city, right next to Kinkaku-ji.
It is close to all the major tourist spots like Ryoan-ji, Nijo-jo Castle, Imperial Palace, and bamboo forest in Arashiyama.
Just hop on a bus or train after school and you can travel to all the beautiful tourist spots.
