Directors Message

Today, when international exchange is becoming more and more popular, the number of foreigners learning Japanese is increasing rapidly.

​

We would like to provide a better learning environment to meet the diversifying needs of Japanese language education.

​

At our school, we teach learners to bring their Japanese proficiency to a high level efficiently within limited time and conditions.

​

We aim to develop human resources who can play an active role on the international stage by having experienced teachers help each student and provide appropriate guidance.
