This article reflects on ten years of teaching experience in Japanese culture at the Mexican section of the Mexican-Japanese High School, a bicultural educational institution in Mexico City. Through an analysis of daily activities and various implemented projects, it examines how unique methodologies have been developed to introduce students to a foreign culture. Meaningful learning is prioritized through the use of art, sensory experimentation, play, storytelling, and critical thinking, with approaches adapted to different educational levels. The article emphasizes the importance of promoting intercultural respect and understanding through firsthand experiences, avoiding direct comparisons between cultures and favoring the building of symbolic bridges. It concludes that there is no single valid methodology, but rather a constantly evolving educational practice that responds to the specific context of a diverse and bicultural school community.
