Kobe Toyo Japanese College

Kobe Toyo Japanese College (神戸東洋日本語学院) commenced Japanese language instruction on 1 April 2004 and relocated its premises in 2018 to its current address at 4-5-7 Kitanagasadori, Chuo-ku, Kobe-shi, Hyogo 650-0012—approximately 5 minutes' walk from Motomachi Station.

Courses

Kobe Toyo teaches both general Japanese and Japanese for further study. Beyond General and College Preparatory courses with spring, summer, autumn, and winter intake dates, the curriculum includes dedicated JLPT (N1–N5) and EJU preparation tracks, an English-language course, and academic support classes in Mathematics I–III, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Essay and Interview Preparation. Short-term courses are also available.

Location

The campus is located on Kitanagasadori in Chuo-ku, in the quiet Motomachi area of central Kobe—3 minutes' walk from Motomachi Station on JR and Hankyu lines. The school notes proximity to Toyo Medical School and nearby universities, facilitating student integration into Kobe's academic community. At this campus, learning Japanese for further study can extend beyond a language examination. Essay and interview work cover ways an applicant may need to present an argument or explain an interest. Learners can also compare the general course with college preparation and short-term study according to their academic plans.
