Two Summer Schools, Handpicked for 2026

This summer, Edoory Kids Japan is offering two distinct programs.

Each has its own character — choose the one that fits your child and your family's style.

🌊 Okinawa | Nature Immersion Summer School

Okinawa's ocean becomes your child's classroom.

Crystal-clear water, coral reefs, and subtropical nature —

this summer school immerses your child in a side of Japan that no textbook could ever capture.

Children are at the heart of everything here.

Their curiosity leads the way — whether that means spotting sea creatures,

trying SUP paddleboarding, or simply playing in the sand.

Marine activities build a sense of adventure and a love of the natural world,

while Okinawan food and cultural experiences round out the summer.

Learning and playing become one and the same.

■ Program highlights

・Marine activities in Okinawa's ocean (SUP, sea creature discovery, beach play, etc.)

・Immersive field experiences in a subtropical natural environment

・Okinawan food and cultural programs

・Connection with other children and families in the program

■ A great fit for families who want to...

・Let their child run free in wide-open natural surroundings

・Experience a side of Japan that feels truly different from everyday life

🏙 Kanagawa | Bilingual Urban Summer School

Immersed in Japanese culture, in a bilingual setting.

Japanese and English flow naturally side by side in this program,

giving your child a full immersion in Japanese daily life —

food, culture, and everyday moments —

in an environment where English-speaking families feel right at home.

While the setting is welcoming for families who speak English, the curriculum is rooted in genuine Japanese experience.

Your child will absorb Japanese culture and daily rhythms through a bilingual lens, gradually feeling at home in Japan.

Conveniently located with easy access from Tokyo, the area is ideal for combining the school program with family sightseeing and weekend exploration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the age range for these programs?

It varies by program. The Okinawa nature immersion program is primarily designed for children aged 3–6. The Kanagawa bilingual school accommodates a wider age range. Please get in touch for details.

How much does it cost?

Fees vary depending on the program, duration, and number of participants. We'll provide a tailored quote after an initial consultation. Please feel free to reach out — no question is too small.

Do parents need to stay in Japan during the program?

Yes. As the programs involve young children, we require a parent or guardian to be present in Japan for the duration of the program.

My child doesn't speak Japanese. Can they still participate?

Yes, absolutely. Our programs are designed with non-Japanese-speaking children in mind. That said, we do ask that families come with an open respect for Japanese culture, language, and the local school environment. If you have any concerns about language, please don't hesitate to ask.

Is there a deadline to apply for Summer 2026?

Spots for the 2026 summer programs are limited.

We recommend reaching out as early as possible to avoid missing out.
