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.

Hello, everyone.
Thank you for getting interested in Japan and visiting the website of Sakuragaoka International Japanese Language School. It might be Japanese traditional culture or Japanese subculture such as animations, games, J-POPs  or the idols you like, that made you interested in Japan.
 
Each one has a different reason for deciding to learn Japanese. But all of you will get closer to your dream  since you have studied and graduated from Sakuragaoka International Japanese Language School. The students of our school will enjoy themselves by overwhelming in Japanese culture, and meanwhile obtain the practical Japanese abilities for passing the entrance examinations of university and graduate school, or even for business applications in the future.
 
The reason we could offer you this is that our school is managed by Hogakukan / Itojuku, which has given overwhelming pass results in the bar examination, the most difficult national examination in Japan. 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. Third, we concern on the importance of basics while teaching. We devote the know-how that Hogakukan / Itojuku has accumulated for years in teaching generously in this school.
 
We promise to you, as well as to your family and friends, who are warmly watching over you, that we will do our best to make sure that you are fully satisfied with your study at our school.

I have a dream that in Japan, in Tokyo, on the hill named "Sakuragaoka" in Shibuya, there are people with great ambitions.
They are the international students from Asia, Europe, America, Oceania, and Africa, etc.
They are smiling hand in hand, and they learn Japanese here, then flapping their wings flying all over the world. That is the dream I exactly hold.
This dream will absolutely come true, and we are able to fulfill it.
How would you like to join us to make that dream come true together!
