Takushin Language School Fukuroi

Takushin Language School Fukuroi is located in Kamiyamanashi in Shizuoka Prefecture. For students using public transport, the route from the north side of Fukuroi Station includes a bus journey on the Akiha line. The campus is about five minutes on foot from the Yamanashi stop. That last part of the journey is worth accounting for when comparing accommodation near the station with options closer to the school.

Japanese for study and daily life

The school's three college-preparatory routes differ in length. April is the entry point for the two-year programme, July for the 21-month programme and October for the 18-month programme. The full-length course covers 1,600 class hours. The shorter two cover 1,400 and 1,200 hours respectively.

Takushin describes practical language use as a goal alongside preparation for further study. Lessons are intended to develop Japanese that students can draw on in daily life and later in work. Extracurricular activities and cultural experiences add opportunities to learn about customs beyond the language classroom.

Takushin lists different entry language expectations for its routes. The two-year course starts from A1 on the Japanese language education reference framework, whereas the shorter programmes ask for A2 or above. This makes existing proficiency, as well as the preferred start month, relevant when choosing a course in Fukuroi.
