VOICE

Representative

We support everyone in fulfilling their dreams.

Sapporo is a big city with a population of 1.9 million people. There are many places where you can enjoy this beautiful place, rich with nature with its four distinct seasons. Especially in the Maruyama region, where the school is located, it is a quiet place for education and the center of Sapporo. In spring, cherry blossom petals dancing in the gentle breeze, in winter the snow-white path shining bright - many of our students had gained so much power from this wonderful environment of Sapporo traveling to school every day. Our institute is set up with the Japanese Language Department and the Japanese Teacher Training Department.

In the Japanese Language Department, foreign students who dream of broadening their future opportunities with Japanese gather here. In the Teaching Japanese as second language department, Japanese students who dream of teaching overseas are working hard to realize their dream. They all work hard together and giving each other motivation, lead to good improvement in their studies.

Our dream is that our students learn of various worlds through this valuable experience in Sapporo, to fulfill each of their hopes and dreams after graduation. From there, we wish for our students to share their ideas and thoughts of their experience of having their dreams come true in Sapporo with the world. I believe that even the smallest desires can create strong bonds, thus contributing to world peace. As an institution which facilitates friendship between different countries, the Japanese Language Institute of Sapporo will do all its might to support our students' challenge to explore the world.

As an institution which fosters friendship between different countries, the Japanese Language Institute of Sapporo does all it can to support our students' and challenge them to explore the world.

Why not join us and work together towards making your dreams a reality?

AREA INFOMATION

Hokkaido is Japan’s northernmost island and a popular destination for snowsports lovers. Hosting the annual Sapporo Snow Festival, winter in Hokkaido brings you grand ice sculptures, and some of the best snow and ski runs in the world. Although summers are short, the island is also famous for its beautiful lavender fields, sunflowers, and cherry blossoms, blooming between the months of May and August. Unofficially known as the “kingdom of sweets”, delectable dairy and confectionery products abound in Hokkaido, making it a prime destination for snow and food lovers alike.
