Does anyone know a high school foreign exchange program to japan

Does anyone know a high school foreign exchange program to japan?
I'm looking for an exchange program that allows you to go to japan for a year without any language requirements ( or very little, like one year) and preferably starts in the fall.

Most high school foreign exchange programs don't require you to learn the language but they say it is always helpful. That and you would probably enjoy your stay more if you knew what they were talking about. AFS is my favorite foreign exchange program. It does start in the fall like you want and they have full scholarships to Japan so you don't have to pay for anything. Two Worlds United and YFU are other foreign exchange student programs but I would stick with AFS because it's the cheapest and safest. Good luck and have fun in Japan!

About half use backpacks and about half use a vinyl sports style bag that has either the name of their school or the brand on it. They look a bit like the bags that airlines used to sell or give away back in the 1960's or 1970's. Elementary school children use a stuff leather backpack with a rounded top, almost universally.

I have heard they carry all their school stuff in their pants...i know weird!?!?

Oh, they use school bags of course! Most of them look like this: http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~sampei/DSC05289.JPG They will hang up dolls, etc. Most Japanese high school kids don't use backpacks! Elementary students use this: http://file.seibanrandoseru.blog.shinobi.jp/211-1.jpg

Probably about 200,000-300,000 yen a month. Depends on the school and the city.
