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.
