The advantage of Hokkaido in Winter

Winter is a wonderful time to visit Sapporo. The streets are covered in mountains of beautiful snow, allowing for many exciting winter activities such as skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing, all within the city limits. After, enjoy a soak in one of the many famous hot springs. From February, the largest Snow Festival in Japan is held, The Sapporo Snow Festival. People from all around the world come to see the giant sculptures carved in snow, and enjoy the winter activities and food. Even in winter, you can conveniently get around the city via the underground subway system, so you won’t miss any of the winter excitement!

Extra-Curricular
Activities

Because of our full and active school community, there are plenty of activities and chances to make local Japanese friends and enjoy your life in Japan.

In order to improve your Japanese conversational skills within a short period of time, we focus on three main areas – practice, speak and use! The classes at Hokkaido JaLS are designed for a maximum of 8 people in each class. This way, our teachers are able to coach our students individually, giving you plenty of chance to clarify doubts and practice Japanese. After class, students are encouraged to use Japanese actively out of school and on the streets of Sapporo!
