At first, any school to learn Japanese would have been fine but ISI stood out because of the help given by teachers and staff to enter university or find a job! Furthermore, the lessons proceed at a comfortable yet quick pace.

CHICHEREAU ADRIEN(France)

The Staff is Very Efficientin Assisting Students

Teachers are very kind so they help you whenever you have a problem with your studies or your daily life. I also think the way of learning grammar is very good since we have to think of our own examples after the teachers explain it.

I fell in love with Tokyo after a trip and decided to try and experience living in Japan and enjoying its culture. There is a large variety of nationalities in my class, so I have gotten to meet a lot of different people. In the future, if I am still enjoying my time in Japan, I will consider applying to a Vocational School.

NILS JESPERBJOERKLUND(Sweden)

Be sure to apply here, the school is really nice!

I am feeling safe because the school helps me with any problem that might occur and with the questions I may have. It is good when you don't need to worry, especially when you are not yet with the lifestyle of another country. The lessons are useful which gives you the opportunity to make friends and have fun in Japan!

KIRA KINGASZENTKUTI (Hungary)

The school takes care of youfrom the beginning.

Job Finding Class in cooperation with employmentcenters! for those who wantto work in Japan.

Interaction with local Japanese students and extracurricularactivities!

Would you like to practice your Japanese with native Japanese students? Are you aiming for employment in Japan?

The key to success in any language is to practice it. Ikebukuro Campus is located on the same building as TBL (ISI's business and language vocational school). International students will have plenty of opportunities to practice their language skills by socializing with local Japanese students who are attending TBL. We offer a variety of classes to support your needs from total beginner to level N1 of JLPT, even for those who want to work in Japan in the future!

I enjoy the blend of ancient culture a n d m o d e r n convenience. The school's facilities

are well-planned and conducive to study.The teachers are patient as I struggle through difficult parts of the grammar,and they challenge me to express myself in ways appropriate to the Japanese cultural context.

4-Year Study Plan Local Life

Want to stay away from a big city? Prefer to live in a historic town in Japan?

Nagano Campus is located in Ueda (Nagano), a beautiful town where the 1988 Winter Olympics were held. It is also where the famous samurai warrior Sanada Yukimura was born and the filming location of a soap opera based on his life. If you want to study in a smaller city but in a convenient location, Nagano Campus will be the best choice! The school offers classes for those who have never studied Japanese before up to those who want to enroll in a Japanese university or vocational school in the future.
