Japan Preschool Exchange

About this program

Japan Preschool Exchange offers families an opportunity to stay in regions across Japan for 1-3 weeks or 1-3 months while children attend local preschools. Featured on CNN and Time Out Tokyo, the program allows families to immerse in daily Japanese life, experiencing a "living" local experience that goes beyond typical tourism. The program is designed for digital nomads, homeschoolers, and traveling families seeking authentic cultural immersion. Parents can work remotely while children attend preschool, creating a unique balance of productivity and family adventure. The preschools emphasize nature-based play - with meadows as playgrounds, seaside walks, and rural landscapes. By playing to their heart's content, children nurture rich sensibilities while parents experience Japanese life firsthand. Destinations span from snow country in Hokkaido to historic streets in Kyoto and coastal towns across the archipelago.
