Summary: “Yōkoso! Sakura Shougakkou e” is an interactive DVD
resource introducing Japanese school customs and language through
scenes shot in a real-life school environment. In recent years, with
increases in foreign immigration to Japan, the number of foreign students
enrolling in Japanese primary schools has grown considerably, with
children of second generation Brazilian-Japanese immigrants, or Nikkeijin,
representing the biggest group. This resource was designed to address
the difficulties foreign children can have integrating into the unique
Japanese school system and culture.

become a Shinto priest -- unless his determination falters. Another youth
is aiming to be a professional musician, watched over by parents who
offer encouragement but who also express misgivings. And we meet a
young woman who works in the hospital and attends high school in her

father of the host hamily struggles gemely to communicate with the
young American who is staying with them for the summer. The father is
determined that his guest should experience the beauty of Japanese
customs and traditions; the student is taken fishing, and finds himself
going to the local summer festivities in a kimono. But how does the guest
himself interpret the warmth of his host family's hospitality". -- FROM
