Asia - a changing continent! Meet rich history among skyscrapers. Learn about Asian cuisine, manga, martial arts, society, history and language. The kingdom of the sun - Japan - including Tokyo

Unique Japan!

On the line, you meet hypermodern and ancient Japan.

An ancient culture of honor, now full of skyscrapers and anime. A country where temples, robots, TV games, colorful fashion, Shinto shrines, beautiful nature, food and neon lights are squeezed into an area the size of Norway. The Japanese are among the world's most polite people and they are known for their great respect for their elders.

Throughout the year at Karmøy, you will get to know Japan's broad culture, from the professional life of the temple monks to food and popular culture, and when spring comes you will be well prepared for the study tour. Then hopefully sakura, a special blooming of the cherry trees, will meet us, with big public celebrations.

We visit the cities of Tokyo and Kyoto which will give you a broad impression of the country and the people.

Join us on a year packed with valuable and exciting experiences.

NB!

Japan er et helt unikt land, og helt ulikt alle andre land i Asia. Du vil bli overrasket over en dag å se skyskraperne og møte et hypermoderne samfunn i Tokyo. Her vil vi foreta flere utflukter som vil gi deg et godt inntrykk av japanernes hverdagsliv. Ikke minst får du et godt innblikk i et av verdens beste kjøkken – det japanske.

Byen Kyoto har ikke en eneste skyskraper, og er bevart i typisk, gammel japansk stil. Her vil du få se noen av verdens flotteste templer og ellers bli kjent med en helt spesiell arkitektur.

Disse to byene vil vise deg de rike kontrastene i landet. Underveis spekker vi dagene med flotte og verdifulle opplevelser og utflukter. Du vil helt klart bli betatt, og kanskje forelsket i dette helt utrolige landet. Få drømmen din oppfylt, bli med oss til Japan!
