Our GoalWe accept young students who studies Japanese as a foreign language and teach them not only Japanese language but also the culture, too. By doing so we would be able to have students who would be accepted and become a pillar of the community. As a result we would be able to develop students who would be able to become a bridge between Japan and other countries.

Our hopeSazanami group has made effort to be given a great review from such fields as medical/ nursing care, service (manpower dispatching), education and others.Japanese population has started to shrink, it’s said that the population will be less than a million by 2050. If you look outside of Japan, after 2020 population of China will also decrease. Some experts say that small population will affect the productivity of China.Sazanami International Academy’s parent company, Sazanami limited company, currently operates nursing homes in Japan. The demand for such institutions far exceeds the supply and production fi elds.Decrease of Japanese population will bring lower productivity in Japan. Due to this circumstance human resources from other countries are in high demands in various fi elds in Japan. Although Japanese government has introduced a system of hiring foreign care workers in nursing care service, the system could not really solve the problem in lack of human resources in this country. Some say that one of the causes of this is that Japanese language is too hard to read and understand for non-Japanese.Sazanami group has hoped to establish Japanese Language School which leads non-Japanese students to higher educations and even to acquire jobs in Japan after graduation while teaching them not only Japanese but also Japanese culture. Finally we have been able to establish such academic institution.Why don’t you study with us to make your dreams come true? Let’s study Japanese and feel real Japanese culture in Sazanami International Academy to succeed globally!Sazanami International Academy is waiting for your admission.
