Study Japanese language and Culture in Historic Kyoto!

Our Japanese school is located in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japanese, allowing students to enjoy the Japanese harmony both inside and outside the school. Here you can also study for the first time about the Japanese culture in our General Japanese Course. We have installed the latest equipment and actively incorporated ICT into our education system. We also offer the regular Academic Japanese Course for those who want to keep studying afterward in University or vocational schools. The school environment is very homey, allowing the students to learn in a quiet environment and feel close to the teachers while being in the center of Kyoto.

Why don’t you join us and study Japanese language and culture at the same time at the most symbolic Japanese city? The school is located in a very quiet residential area in the heart of Kyoto. The teachers work very hard to support our students and are open to your inquiries so you can learn not just Japanese from them. Come and study in our unique school!

AREA INFOMATION

Kyoto Prefecture occupies an important and long-standing place in Japanese history. Previously the imperial capital for over a thousand years, Kyoto is speckled with ancient temples and shrines, traditional crafts, enchanted forests, and scenic views. In the north, Kyoto is ringed by mountains and the sea, as well as the famous sandbar, Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s three most scenic spots. Apart from Kyoto City and the Otokuni Bamboo Grove, the southern part of Kyoto is also home to a number of castle sites, historical landmarks, and rich tea culture.
