As Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to those in Japan.
In Sydney, March corresponds to late summer, transitioning from peak summer to early autumn.
During this time, the average daytime high temperature is around 25°C, while the average low is approximately 18°C.
Early March still feels like midsummer, while toward the end of the month, the season gradually shifts, offering a very comfortable climate.
Sydney is known for its stable safety conditions, and with minimal time difference, the physical burden on participants is reduced.
The program will be held at a new campus that opened in February 2020.
