Mihara International Academy of Languages

Mihara International Academy of Languages makes an important distinction between its two one-year options. One is a basic Japanese course, while the other is specifically designed for college preparation. Both take place at the academy in Miyaoki in Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture. A prospective learner searching for a year of Japanese study can therefore start with the purpose of the stay before deciding on a timetable.

Basic or college-preparatory Japanese

The one-year basic course and one-year college-preparatory course both list an April start. An additional college-preparatory course runs for a year and a half, with an October starting point. Students who expect to apply for further study in Japan can compare the two academic preparation routes in terms of the language work they need before applying. Someone primarily interested in developing general Japanese can ask specifically for the basic course information.

Getting to the academy

The campus is at 5-8-15 Miyaoki. The Japanese language school association describes a walk of around twenty minutes from Mihara Station on the JR Sanyo Main Line. Students planning a longer stay can use the station and the Miyaoki campus as separate reference points when comparing accommodation. The academy publishes student life and school facilities information alongside its admissions material.
