The Summer Session at J. F. Oberlin University Shinjuku Campus is a maximum 8 weeks, 4 sessions, intensive program in the center of Tokyo. Courses offered in 2025 will be several content course and four levels of Japanese language courses.

Upon completion of each course, participants will be issued an official transcript from J. F. Oberlin University (4 Japanese University credits/course)*.
Nestled in the dynamic metropolis of Tokyo, the university campus is a gateway to the vibrant energy of the city. Just a short stroll from Shin Okubo station and not far walk to Shinjuku station, the busiest train station in the world, students can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Tokyo, from charming boutiques to bustling food stalls.
Home to around 2,240 students, with a significant international population, the university is dedicated to nurturing global citizens. This program offers participants an invaluable opportunity to delve into Japanese language, history, and culture through immersive learning and interactive activities designed to foster connections with local students.
Life in Tokyo offers a daily array of cultural encounters, from the serene experience of riding the subway to the culinary delights of izakayas (cozy Japanese pubs). Some courses feature guided visits to iconic sites such as temples, shrines, parks, gardens, museums, and more, providing a comprehensive introduction to the city’s heritage. Yet, often the most profound cultural insights come from everyday explorations, as participants discover the unique charm and character of Tokyo.
