Hello everyone!
I created an account here to ask everyone about the MEXT university-recommended scholarship, and had some more questions.
I previously studied at Tokyo Gakugei University for a year as a self-funded student and speak N3-N2 level Japanese, as a disclaimer, so I have previous experience living and studying in Japan.In order to improve my language skills beyond their current level, I am going for a second year in Japan. This time, I have chosen to study at Doshisha University in Kyoto . I was recommended to apply for the MEXT Japanese Studies by the study abroad office so I went ahead and applied to the university's MEXT Japanese Studies program (大学推薦)
So, to the point of the post, I am looking for a very immersive, heavy-Japanese, no-or-little-as-possible English experience. However, as I am going to Kyoto, I am worried that it is too foreign-friendly. That might sound weird, but should I be concerned about that when I study there?
When I lived in Tokyo, I took a side-trip to Kyoto to visit a friend and have her show me around and I had to basically fight with the service staff to use my Japanese (replying three, four, or more times in Japanese until they got I could understand, etc.)
Thanks everyone!
