Culture becomes the soil that enriches the heart.

The future begins here.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

Learners as "Active Participants in Society"

Opening the Door to the Future Through the Power of "Language"

Our school aims not only to teach Japanese language itself, but to cultivate the ability to forge one's own future through learning, working, and connecting with people in Japanese. Our goal is for learners to act independently in society across practical situations in daily life, academia, and careers.

Understanding Japanese Culture & Society

We view "language" not as mere knowledge but as a means of participating in society. Through Japanese learning, we respect learners as social beings and help them deeply understand Japanese culture and society, developing the power to forge their future.

Cross-Cultural Experience

Based on an action-oriented approach, we deepen understanding of different cultures. Through hands-on experiences, we focus on "what you can do (Can-do)" in Japanese, enhancing practical communication skills needed in various real-world situations.

Self-Directed Learning

We encourage each learner's autonomous learning. We provide an environment where students can proactively work toward their own goals (Can-do) such as daily life, employment, or further study, while growing physically and mentally.

Comprehensive Support

We stand by each diverse learner, providing comprehensive support. Our faculty supports both linguistic and personal growth, creating a comfortable learning and living environment tailored to each student's goals and circumstances.
