Studying Japanese in Kawagoe

The school offers two authorized courses: a two-year College Preparatory Course and a one-year-six-month College Preparatory Course. The two-year course provides 1,600 class hours over 80 weeks with April admission, while the 1.5-year course provides 1,200 class hours over 60 weeks with October admission.

The school is near Kawagoe's city center and offers access to Tokyo, with Ikebukuro about 30 minutes away by train.

Class teachers conduct interviews and give guidance on the transition to college. The school describes special or individual classes that can be adapted to a learner's study plan, alongside regular Japanese lessons. That combination matters for a student whose entrance examinations or application schedule differ from those of classmates. The school also lists dormitory accommodation equipped for daily living. When comparing housing, Kawagoe Station's west exit is the useful reference point for a weekday commute.
