Description

Since 1950, IES has been building quality study abroad programs and introducing U.S. students to new places, studies, and ways of thinking. A non-profit educational organization, IES offers high academic standards and extensive financial aid in almost 30 programs throughout the world.

Tokyo is a modern city of wonderful contrasts. Its dignified temples and shrines stand quietly in the shadows of massive skyscrapers. Tokyo's modernity and fast pace are somehow subdued by the serene charm of its many parks and the quiet courtesy of its people. Both energetic and graceful, Tokyo is a gateway to the fascinating culture of Japan.

The campus of Meikai University in Urayasu is home to the IES Abroad Tokyo Language Intensive program. Urayasu encompasses both a traditional fishing village and a reclaimed area featuring modern businesses, including the Tokyo Disney Resort.

You will benefit from both the old and the new of this area as you improve your Japanese through intensive language study, then join other IES Abroad students to study popular culture, history, politics, and arts in area studies courses.
