 Housing

Studies coordinates a homestay program for Notre Dame students. Students live with Japanese families and take most meals with them. The University of Notre Dame provides a monthly allowance to help defray food and commuting costs.
Cultural and Recreational
Opportunities
Students are invited
to join Japanese student clubs which focus on a great variety of activities,
such as drama, martial arts and sports. The University opened a new physical
education complex on the northwest corner of the campus in 1987. This
facility contains an indoor swimming pool, running track and basketball
and racquetball courts.  Outdoors,
students will find tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and track, field
and golf practice areas.
Nagoya boasts the
Tokugawa Art Museum, built on the site of the ancient mansion of the Tokugawa
family, who nominally ruled Japan for the 250 years preceding the Meiji
Restoration. The musuem contains some 7,000 works of art, historical relics
and family heirlooms. The Center for Japanese Studies offers students
opportunities to attend exhibitions and performances of Japanese visual
and dramatic arts. During vacation periods, students are encouraged to
visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and other important Japanese historical sites.
Travel throughout Japan and other Asian countries can be planned during
the longer Christmas and spring vacations.
