My employer has given me a very attractive summer option (last day of class is July 20th and starts back up in the last week of August)...

Basically, if I register in any legitimate Japanese school in Japan for the duration of the summer holiday, they will pay my full wage.

I've been looking for a school that will take short-term students (maybe like a vacation/study or intensive-study program perhaps... Or one that is willing to custom-tailor a month-long course for someone). I would like to be somewhere very close to the water.... E.g. Anywhere in Chiba or Shizuoka... Basically I would like to have my free time to do some surfing whenever I'm not in class or studying...

Here are the questions I'm trying to get answered:

1. Does anyone have any leads for me given my above blurb? 2. Any experiences good/bad with JPN schools? 3. What should I look for in a school & why?

If you can advise me in any of these 3 areas, I'd sure appreciate it.

Cheers,

JD

P.S. Since I've been saving up for summer, I can probably afford to spend (no more than) the equivalent of a month's wage on my adventure -- that is: tuition, accom., food, etc... I have my own transportation (and could even camp if I really had to... to save money).

There is one school in Chiba City that has this option. Unfortunately for you its name escapes me. It's something like "Japanese School of Foreign Languages."
