    • My summer in Shibuya was nothing short of spectacular. Memories of friends and language learning adventures have stayed dear to me even three years later. Although I have returned to Japan multiple times and had the opportunity to hone my language skills, nothing has been quite the same as the summer of 2015 with EF.

    • EF gave me the confidence to not only challenge myself, but to help me grow as a person. Helping me reach out of my comfort zone by traveling to a whole new world. Growing both personally and professionally.

      - Philip Murtagh - September 5, 2017
    • My time at EF Tokyo was beyond amazing. There was no better way to feel the pulse of Tokyo than to travel to school through the bustling Shibuya Crossing. Even in the classroom, you can feel the buzz of Tokyo through the breathtaking view of the city from the 27th floor. Classes and school activities alike introduce you to a diverse group of students from across the globe. EF Tokyo has enhanced my love for the Japanese language and culture. I'll forever cherish my EF experience.

      - Marina Alonzo - October 5, 2017
    • EF provided me with an unforgettable experience when I studied in Tokyo. EF's first priority was to keep us safe and made sure we had fun. I wouldn't trade the memories that I created with EF for the world.

      - Amber Kadlec - August 20, 2016
    • Although I arrived in Tokyo knowing nearly no Japanese, between the EF Staff to my homestay family to the international friends I made, I always felt welcomed. I still keep in touch with everyone, and I've even toured my homestay family around my hometown! I plan to return to Japan soon to make even more memories.

      - Kyla Smith - August 20, 2016
    • Studying in the heart of Tokyo was such a fulfilling, magnificent experience. I was learning so much every day. I can't wait to go back again!
