Please note that check-in baggage allowance on most airlines is 20-30kg. During the program year, most students will tend to accumulate much more materials than they are permitted to take on their return journey. We strongly advise students against bringing excess luggage and recommend that they ship all non-essential materials as needed. The school would also like to inform parents of the following shipping costs. Please ensure that the student is sufficiently funded to take all their belongings at the conclusion of the program:

Rough estimate for materials under 10 kg is as follows:
Airmail: 20,000 yen   Surface: 7,000 yen
