A Guide to Language Programs in Japan
Best Cities
From language schools to private tutoring, there are many places to study languages in Japan. Some of the most popular cities for studying in Japan are Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka.
Tokyo. As Japan’s capital and largest city, Tokyo houses several hundred colleges and universities, many of which offer Japanese language courses. If a bustling metropolitan environment is the experience you’re looking for, there’s no better city to study languages abroad. The variety of businesses, subcultures, and sheer amount of people in Tokyo allow language learners a wide scope of activities to practice language skills.
Kyoto. Considered the cultural capital of Japan, Kyoto offers language study abroad in a more traditional environment. Studying languages in Kyoto enables language students to visit many well-known historical and cultural sites in the Kansai region. Another benefit of studying in Kyoto is that it can be slightly more inexpensive than Tokyo, and even nearby Osaka. Kyoto is also home to some of Japan’s top-ranked universities.
Osaka. Known to be the economical hub of Japan, studying in Osaka offers up opportunities to experience more of the language of business, and features some of Japan’s most famous food specialities. Osaka is also much more metropolitan than its nearby neighbor Kyoto.
