The students of the Japanese Language Department and the Japanese Teachers Training Department have a lot of chances to interact with each other outside of the special events. We hold extracurricular activities for students who wish to join. In spring, cherry blossoms dance in the gentle breeze. In summer, lush greenery is everywhere. In Autumn, leaves turn red. In winter snow-white paths glisten brightly. There are many ways to enjoy the beauty and diverse seasons in Sapporo. Students from both the Japanese Language Department and the Japanese Teacher Training Department can join in the activities of the Japanese Language Institute of Sapporo.
