Textbook: Marugoto

  • In ” Marugoto”, using Japanese to actually communicate is the goal. The goal is not just to increase your knowledge of grammar and sentence patterns. Can-dos are set as objectives that show what you will be able to do in what situations, and you study Japanese that can be used in real-life situations. 

  • Marugoto incorporates learning processes that are based on the results of a variety of studies on second language acquisition.
    For example, the process from input, in the form of audio recordings, to oral output is taken into consideration, so that ability in oral output can be increased.
    Grammar practice is designed so that, through Notice and Discover activities that take place within real communication, grammar can be learned within a meaningful context. 

  • The study materials fee is included in the tuition fee.


  • Unlike what is commonly practiced, there is a large focus on practicing speaking, using techniques such as shadowing.

    So you will actually be able to converse, not just studying for tests!

  • Dormitory and school is only a few minutes from the station!

Japanese style dormitories

  • The place is a tourist area, so there are many places to eat, and local cafes, hotels, places to find a part-time job, to supplement living costs and actually practice your Japanese!
