Abstract When people arrive at another country, where the language, culture, interpersonal relationship, living environment, and economic conditions are different, it is not unusual that they would feel stressful due to the lack of adaptation to the new environment. If a student cannot adjust to the new environment, he or she might face social isolation, depression, problematic student life, and physical and emotional exhaustion. Therefore, it is important to learn how to face and cope with the stress. This research aims to understand the stress and coping strategies in cross-cultural adaptation for exchange students in Japan, by studying the examples of students from the Department of Physical Education at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), and to inform the College of Sports and Recreation at NTNU of the exchange student life. Four exchange students sent to Japan by NTNU from 2011-2015 were selected through snowball sampling, and data was collected and analyzed through literature reviews and semi-structured interviews. It was found that the main stress of students in the Department of Physical Education arose from insufficient economic resources and language barriers. In response to insufficient economic resources, students can make saving plans, look up discount information, seek financial support from family members, and manage their spending. In terms of language barriers, student can adopt coping strategies, such as possessing a positive attitude, seeking help from classmates, and utilizing various resources to improve their foreign language skills.
