A Japanese university at the NAFSA Expo that sparked my interest was Akita University. The pamphlet I picked up broke down their courses, majors and curriculars. I was particularly intrigued by the way the Japanese language section was set up. They had most classes in English so it catered to that. However they also had a Japanese language and culture immersive program, sort of like what I am in now, but it’ll be at a college level, on a Japanese campus, and with native speakers. This is great for assimilation and trying to immerse myself into the culture. I still have a bunch of research to do, but this is a start!
