What to weigh up
Basic English is expected. These dates may precede a Japanese public school’s winter break; check school attendance, the first-time fee and commuting costs.
Operating history and evidence
Current official winter pages support dates, pricing and external/visitor access. Some generic multi-week wording is stale; the dated 2026 table is used here.
Before you book
Confirm age, English readiness, the whole 14–18 December week, insurance, Shiba meeting point and meal/trip/bus charges. Use the final registration terms and invoice.
Cancellation and refunds
The winter overview disallows changes/refunds after the application deadline and charges ¥1,000 for changes/cancellation. For primary, the one-week rule implies 7 December; the preschool camp’s 14 December deadline is separate.
