Learn Japanese in Tokyo

Tokyo is a city where you never get bored. It has different personalities. Every time you pop out of metro you happen to be in another world. It's amazing to see an old traditional Japanese house surrounded by modern skyscrapers. Tokyo consists of 23 districts, with the population more than 9 million people, and almost on 15 million including the surrounding city areas! In fact Tokyo is one of the largest cities of the world. Despite it, and also the high cost of housing, it is regularly chosen as one of the most convenient for living world's cities.
Our Japanese school is in the center of Tokyo, near the station to Shinjuku. It's in the heart of the city's entertainment center with restaurants, bars, night clubs all around! Once living in Shinjuku you will never forget its charm, and you will see, and meet some of the most interesting people in the world in only several meters from where you have your Japanese classes every day. You'll be able to say "I've been to Tokyo" in Japanese: "東京に行ったことがある".

Japanese Courses in Tokyo

All students are placed in a class at the appropriate ability level, regardless of whether
other students are there or not. So, if a student is the only person at his/her Japanese
ability level, we provide private classes for that student. In this case, the total number of
class hours will be reduced.
Teachers speak English as well as Japanese. We use this to simplify study, by explaining
in English where absolutely necessary, or relating Japanese grammar to English grammar.
This is especially useful at the lower ability levels.
