Welcome to Seiritsu, Melissa!
Hello, my name is Melissa and I am an 18 year old student on the Gap year programme here at Seiritsu.
It has only been roughly two weeks since I arrived in Japan but I have already learnt and seen so much! Back in England I have already finished college and taken my University exams meaning that right now I am on my gap year. As I plan to study Japanese at University I realised attending a Japanese high school for 7 months would be a fun and rewarding way to improve my Japanese whilst simultaneously exploring Japan.
Japanese High School has been such a new and exciting experience with my favourite parts so far being the tea ceremony club, making friends and an afterschool trip to Harajuku.
