Kanazawa EduTourism: Sightseeing for Parents, Cultural Exploration in English for Kids!
Enjoy Kanazawa’s rich history, world-class cuisine, and traditional arts at your own pace while your children embark on a hands-on, interactive English adventure with international peers!
■Overview & Concept
Our EduTourism (Worldschooling) program solves the common "family vacation dilemma". While parents enjoy guilt-free sightseeing, kids drop off at Weskii Lab to explore Kanazawa’s heritage—guided by native English instructors and Kanazawa University student mentors.
■Program Highlights
1. World-Class Cultural Heritage:
Hands-on experience with UNESCO-recognized Kanazawa Gold Leaf crafts and discovering the hidden trapdoors of the famous "Ninja Temple" (Myoryuji).
2. Immersive English Environment:
Children interact in English with International-School instructors, international peers, and local university students.
3. Safe & Reliable Supervision:
Operated by Weskii Lab (an established international preschool/afterschool) in partnership with Kanazawa University.
4. In Every Course: Take-Home Independent Research Project :
Active Learning: Encourages children to critically think and ask "Why?" and "How?" during every cultural activity.
Inquiry & Synthesis: Children research, reflect on, and summarize their own unique discoveries.
Tangible Result: Leaves Kanazawa with a completed Independent Research Report—a meaningful souvenir of their learning journey.
