Pro-Tip: Do everything you can to step out of your comfort zone and interact with the community. For example, befriend/talk to other students, participate in a homestay, explore the city, etc.
#1 Recommendation: I noticed a trend in which the students at Doshisha University wanted to talk to us, and we wanted to talk to them, but everyone was often to shy to take the first step. Take the initiative to meet other students (they will be happy)! I have many recommendations for restaurants, places to visit, etc, so feel free to ask me.
