The Tosa-Reihoku area in Kochi Prefecture is one of Japan's richest and most emblematic natural areas, boasting the highest forest cover in Japan and fresh water, with the crystal-clear Yoshino River close at hand. The area is so attractive that former Olympic canoeists have even moved here. In recent years, more and more people from overseas have moved to Tosa-Reihoku because they like its natural environs. With the help of the local community, students can stay in private Japanese homes and experience Japanese culture. There is also an emergency hospital in the area which can be used for sudden health problems. This region would be an excellent destination if you want your students to experience the natural Japanese environs. If you are interested in taking part in a program, please contact us. We also have packages available for school groups.
