Q. Why did you choose Japan and Meiji?
When I was a high school student, I came to Japan to study for a week and stayed with a Japanese family. I was very attracted to the sound of Japanese language, the culture, and the warmth of the people then. This experience made my interest to study in Japan for a long term stronger. After I studied at Japanese language school in Japan for one year, I entered Meiji University. In School of Arts and Letters, where I belong to, there are classes of seminar style that students can take from the first year. That is the main reason why I chose Meiji University.
