Japanese

Living the language for over 50 years!

WE BRING THE WORLD TO YOU

Village LocationThe Japanese Language Village is located near Dent, Minnesota on a small, quiet lake surrounded by trees. It won't be long before you forget where you are and start thinking like you're in Japan.

Every day is like a new adventure abroad

Participants become "villagers" and live in the language and culture from the moment they wake up to the close of the day.

Hello!At Mori no Ike you'll live in the language and cultures

of the Japanese-speaking world for your entire camp stay. From the time your eyes

open in the morning until they close on your pillow that night you'll

build an impressive foundation of Japanese skills and cultural knowledge by participating in small language learning groups, joining in cultural and camp activities, playing games and

sports, dancing, singing, cooking — and most of all having fun.
