In addition to the language training program, the YMCA Asian Language Institute provides opportunities to learn about Japanese culture and history, and Christianity.

In order to deepen mutual understanding, the YMCA Asia Language Institute arranges for students to visit Japanese homes.
To provide students with hands-on experience with a Japanese family, culture and customs, an arrangement is made to have the students visit the YMCA members' homes or local area homes.
