Your dorm will have a cafeteria.
Your dorm will have an arrangement with a nearby university to use their cafeteria.
KCP will provide a list of value-oriented restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores, and other eateries around each area.

Travel to and from Japan (as well as some culture class transportation) is not included. Airfare varies depending on season of travel. Typically, round-trip fares between the U.S. and Japan run $1,000 to $1,500.
For personal expenses, plan on about $500 to $1,000 per semester.
Most dorms used by KCP feature amenities that give you all the comforts of home such as your own living space including a bathroom, kitchenette, sleeping and study area, and internet. They are all single occupancy.
For extended or academic year terms, the homestay option is available for only the first semester.
Host family availability is not guaranteed. If a host family is not available for a student, the student will be automatically switched to the dormitory option.
