I know that Japan is not some sugar coated wonderland but I have always had a serious interest in the country. I have been looking at all sorts of exchange programs but they only offer one high school year and I want all three! Ive searched and searched but didnt find anything. Do you know some place that offers you three years? And do you know someone who would open their home for a student, and can you even stay in Japan as a student at some family if your not connected to some organization or program? And at last, is it easy to require a student visa? A little heads up, I live in Denmark.
Hope you will reply.
I don't think you know what it's like living in a very foreign country like Japan for an extended period of time. You don't want to commit yourself to 3 years without trying it first. I'd suggest doing a 1 year program, see how you like it, then maybe go back when you're in university, or try English teaching after you graduate from university.
