Study in Japan as a High School Student HELP


Study in Japan as a High School Student HELP?
It is my senior year of highschool and I graduate in three months. I have been studying Japanese for 3 years and I want to study for a whole school year in japan as a high school student. BEFORE YOU SAY THAT I CANT BECAUSE IM ALREADY GRADUATING READ FIRST! There are still lots of people who graduate highschool and still go to high school over there for a whole senior year. This is why I'm asking. I would love to go to Japan and study as a high school student and get in touch with my heritage (my dad is full japanese but he never bothered to teach me). If anyone could help me look up online websites to study abroad in japan i would be most appreciative. IF YOU HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN INVOLVED WITH A PROGRAM LIKE THIS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.

Well one, it's very expensive from what I hear, just a typical plain ticket on coach class to Japan costs around 2,000$. Your class fees (or any other fees relating to your education) will also costs some where in the low thousands. You must also take into account that living expenses are HUGE in japan, eating your 3 square meals a day will burn a MAJOR hole in your pocket if you're not careful. However if you and your parents are fine with the costs, the next problem YOU MIGHT encounter is the language, but if you have been doing japanese for 3 years, you probably have no problem :) But all in all, if I were you, I'd wait until sophomore year of college before I go, it will lighten to expenses immensely.
