Studying Japanese in Matsudo

KEN School of Japanese Language is located in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, about 25 km from Tokyo Station. Matsudo sits across the Edogawa River from Tokyo and is a green residential community. The campus, in the Seki Building at 2-20 Shin-Matsudo, is a one-minute walk from JR Shin-Matsudo Station or a three-minute walk from Koya Station on the Ryutetsu Line.

Japanese language instruction began in 1989. The school teaches by the direct method with qualified instructors, keeping classes small at 10 to 18 students and adding remedial lessons for individual needs. Teachers provide one-to-one counseling on daily life, study and higher education options. Extracurricular activities such as day bus trips, ski trips, sports tournaments, fireworks visits, Christmas parties and speech contests form part of the curriculum.

The general courses run for eighteen months, twenty-one months or two years. There are also shorter courses and private lessons, giving residents of Matsudo a way to choose individual study without enrolling in a multi-year academic programme.
