Intercultural Institute of Japan — Akihabara

The Intercultural Institute of Japan offers Japanese language education from its Akihabara-area location in Tokyo. The institute is based in Taito, with access to stations including Okachimachi, Naka-Okachimachi and Shin-Okachimachi. Its position between areas such as Akihabara, Ueno and Asakusa is useful for students comparing where to base a language stay.

A Tokyo setting for Japanese learning

The institute’s work includes Japanese language education and teacher training. Prospective language students should identify the course intended for their own learning goals and experience. The surrounding districts offer different settings for practising everyday Japanese, from transport journeys and shopping to visits to cultural attractions.

Comparing course and location

Ask about the Japanese programmes running during your intended dates, their teaching schedule and the placement process for your level. Check whether the course is designed around short-term study or a longer educational plan. When looking at accommodation, compare the practical journey to the institute using the nearby stations. This can help you choose a daily routine that leaves time for revision as well as exploring Tokyo.
