Our school is managed by Itojuku, a preparatory school for legal qualification exams, founded by Hogakukan company in 1995. Since opening, Itojuku has produced a number of lawyers, administrators and civil servants, especially the most students who passed the bar examination for many years.

Full support system only a full-time school can offer!

The greatest feature of our school is that we are a "Full-Time school", which is rare for the Japanese language schools. Most of the Japanese language schools give lessons only in the morning or in the afternoon, but our school gives lessons all the day. In the morning, we teach the students basic Japanese, and in the afternoon, we give lessons about the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU), Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), so that the students could get complete preparation to challenge the top-level universities' entrance exams. After afternoon lessons, we conduct personal interview and coaching. By this full support system, we support every student for running to their goals.

Detailed instructions in small classes!

Our school gives all lessons in small classes. Because we pay much attention to each student and thoroughly instruct them in learning, it will be the shortcut to their goals. Moreover, our school has a low student-teatcher ratio, so there are many opportunities for our students to communicate with the teacher face to face. The teachers have rich teaching experience either in others Japanese language schools or abroad. When our students feel anxious, the teachers who have full of know-how will tackle their problem together.

In Hogakukan / Itojuku, we insist on face-to-face introduction while paying great attention to efficiency. About the teaching method, we　concentrate on three points as follow. First, we make the students to be extremely conscious of the purpose of learning. Second, to keep them imagining the goals/purposes constantly.
