Through  an experimental  employment  experience,  company  visits  and  question  &  answer
sessions,  participants  can learn  more  directly  concerning  the perceived  effectiveness  of the
Japanese style  of management.   At  the same time,  students can share  with their industrial hosts
differing views regarding their jobs and lives.                                                     
	Many mid-size companies are, in fact,  looking to expand their business to the United States
and would be interested in possible contacts.  Such visits are not only beneficial for the students,
but for  the companies as well  ---  meeting future business leaders of the United States.   Careful
planning often makes these visits rewarding and even profitable experiences.                        

	   Cultural    opportunities    in    Kyoto
abound  and   are  of  a rare,  one of kind nature.
What  is  more  is  that  these  unique experiences
occur  at  the  very  site  of  their origin!  Many
Japanese themselves  have not had  the privilege to
experience  so much as  half the program's content.
Students'   appreciation  of  cultural  events   or
visitations  is,  of  course,  prompted   and  made
keener  through  classroom  presentations,  but   a
layer of richness is added.   For example,  much in
the  same spirit of  visiting  Plymouth Rock or the
site of the Boston  Tea Party,  participants may be
able  to query the world's  highest Tea Master when
they  attend  a tea  ceremony  at  the  birth place
where  the  "Way  of  Tea"  began  some  700  years
ago.                                               
    This unique program in the ancient capital city
is  where students  are privileged to  take part in
many  of  Kyoto's  other  time  -  honored Japanese
traditions.  They will also have the opportunity to
join others their age in the activities in Japanese
university college clubs.
