We specialised in short-term Japanese language courses (2-24 weeks) taught by experienced, certified teachers in small groups. Lessons focus on more than textbook grammar, so you can confidently use Japanese in real situations.

We are proud to be a 5-star reviewed school on Google, recognised by students for our personalised support and high-quality learning experience.

Our school is based in Akashi, Hyogo - a relaxed seaside city ranked as one of the most liveable places in Japan, just one train from Osaka and Kyoto. Students enjoy an authentic local environment while staying connected to Japan’s major cultural centres.

Before starting, you will take a placement test and short interview so we can place you in the right class and tailor the experience to your level and goals.

Accommodation can be arranged through Japanese host families or an international sharehouse, though you are also free to organise your own stay. 

Students can also join free conversation sessions, activities, and social events, making it easy to practise Japanese and make new friends!

From your first enquiry to your time in Japan, our team supports you every step of the way.
