Very fun
June 25, 2025by: lucy gilet - AustraliaProgram: Short-term Japanese Course & Cultural Activity in HokkaidoThe activities arranged by thre school are all super cool. I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot about japanese culture. We learnt the material a little fast for me but it was managable. My Japanese has improved a lot with he classes. I've gone from basically zero japanese to being able to understand a lot of basic sentences.
Couldn’t ask for a better time!
May 01, 2024by: Ayden Teabo - United StatesProgram: Short-term Japanese Course & Cultural Activity in HokkaidoThis program is amazing for people of any level who want to learn Japanese and emerge themselves in Japanese culture. The process of being admitted into the school and expenses that need to be covered for accommodation and events and such were super easy due to the fast and detailed responses from the staff at JaLS. The school itself is amazing and the atmosphere is awesome and when you add amazing staff and people who want to be your friend and help you it makes for one amazing experience. I have had the time of my life here made new friends and had a great time learning and enjoying Japanese cultural activities alongside my classmates and amazing supervisors. For anyone who is looking for a great way to experience the culture, make new friends, and learn a Japanese whall having fun this is the place for you.

I already live in Sapporo and had been going to another school. However, my previous school was a huge help in teaching me beginner Japanese but I was struggling to connect everything I had learnt, the teachers changed, and it was no longer working for me. I needed to find a school that not only suited my needs but also fitted around my work schedule.
