About the country
About Japan
Japan is made up of four main islands and thousands of smaller ones, and it keeps its deep-rooted traditions alive alongside modern life. Temple gardens, the tea ceremony and seasonal festivals sit side by side with technology, design and pop culture. Order, punctuality and mutual respect are felt in every part of daily life, and for a newcomer these details are among the most striking aspects of the culture.
Programmes are based in the capital, Tokyo. Both Japanese courses and General English programmes are available here, so there are options for those who want to learn Japanese as well as for those who want to improve their English in a completely different culture. With districts as distinct as Shibuya, Shinjuku and Asakusa, Tokyo is a vast metropolis that shows you a new side every day.
Because Japanese uses three writing systems, it can look daunting at first, but once you have a foundation in hiragana and katakana, progress picks up. Observing polite expressions and the way speech changes with context in everyday situations helps what you learn in class really stick.

Why this country
Why Japan?
Learn Japanese in Tokyo's modern pace and its traditional culture.
Learning Japanese on location
You use the phrases from class straight away in shops, stations and restaurants, learning the language from inside a living city rather than only from a textbook.
Punctual, extensive rail network
Tokyo's metro and suburban rail network reaches almost every corner of the city, and high-speed trains make weekend trips to historic cities such as Kyoto possible.
Tradition meets modern life
Visit a historic temple garden in the morning and wander neon-lit streets in the evening, experiencing a culture that stretches from traditional arts to contemporary design in a single day.
Life and climate
JapanCapital: TokyoClimate
Tokyo has four distinct seasons: summers are hot and humid, with a rainy spell in early summer, and winters are usually sunny, cool and dry. In spring, cherry blossom brings colour to the city.
Student life
Getting around by train and metro with a transport card is easy, and keeping quiet and queuing on public transport are widely observed habits. Late-opening convenience stores, ramen shops and neighbourhood festivals add colour to daily life, and sorting rubbish by type is one of the rules you will quickly get used to.
