CSUN Students Travel to Japan to put Learned Language Skills into Action.

Japanese lecturer Nina Kato, together with students from CSUN, Santa Monica College (SMC), and San Fernando Valley Japanese Language Institute—ranging in age from their twenties to their nineties—traveled throughout Japan, visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. Along the way, they immersed themselves in Japan’s rich culture, cuisine, and traditions while putting their Japanese language skills into practice in real-life situations.For information on Japanese Language courses here at CSUN, please visit the Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures pages in the 2026-2027 University Catalalog.
