Japan exchange 19-year-old?

Question:

I just turned 18 this year and I had wanted to go on an exchange to Japan next year.
However, it is hard to find a program , as most cap off at 18-year-old's.
Rotary International accepts up to 19-year-old's, but the man I had contacted seemed to push more towards a 'no' maybe his personal opinion, I'm not sure.
CIEE has a gap-year program but I don't think that they would accept me because my mom signed me up for university first-year studies this fall.
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can look to for an exchange.
Help appreciated.

Here's a though....go by yourself? Do you need someone to wash your laundry for you? Really?
