Why not take a big step towards your dream, right here in Kobe?

Our school was one of the first to provide Japanese language education in the international city of Kobe. For over thirty years, our students and teachers have respected each other’s cultures and have been working hard together every day.
What dreams have you foreign students brought with you to Japan? I hope that you will make your dreams come true here in Japan. To do this, you will first need to improve your Japanese language skills and develop a broad acceptance of different cultures. We offer an ideal environment for overseas students who have a willingness to learn actively.
