Japanese immersion, in a specific place.
A 14-night sleep-away camp in rural Kagawa for US & English-speaking students, ages 12–18. Farm, café, community — the three anchors of real immersion. Twelve spots per cohort. Run by the Peer Learning Hub from our own campus in Sanuki City.
A specific place, on purpose.
“Most programs sell access to Japan. We sell immersion in a specific place — Sanuki, where community comes first.”
— Takeshi Izuka · PLH Immersion Camp
Sanuki City is on Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's main islands. We run from our own campus 45 minutes from Takamatsu airport. No host families to match — you live in dorms on campus, with 24/7 bilingual staff, and you rotate through a working farm and café where neighbors already know your name by week two.

He arrived quiet. By week two he was arguing with the café owner about noodle thickness. In Japanese.
PARENT OF ETHAN · 15 · SEATTLE · '25The farm ruined me for regular summer camp. Feeding cows at 7am is better than any activity schedule.
