Other Information

- The In-Japan Fee covers all travel, lodging and meals while in Japan,
with the exception of dinner on the last day, which is ‘on own’.
- Airfare, cost of obtaining a passport, airport taxes, personal expenses,
and insurance are the responsibility of the participant.
- Labo scholarships for hosting a Labo member *do* apply for the Adult
Exchange (i.e. C$150 / US$100 for each Labo member hosted, up
to three.)
- Scholarships can be claimed only one time.
- Host Family Assignments
- You may request a specific host family. On the application form you
will be asked for instructions in the case your requested family is
not able to host you.
Because of the short time in Japan, Labo can only assign you to only
one host family.
Travel to Japan
Participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements
to and from Japan. Arrival at Narita Airport must be on October 3.
It is fine if you want to extend your stay in Japan. But Labo’s
responsibility will end on the last day of the scheduled program.
