| Students liked about Genki Japanese and Culture School, Fukuoka | |
| "The teaching and the laid back atmosphere." - Martin (36 years) | |
| "The staff is very friendly and helpful. They'll help you with anything and go out of their way to do so. Also, you get a free personal cup while you're there. You have a selection of beverages, microwave, DVD/Manga/bookselection you can rent or even keep (the books) for free. Also, you get flash cards, so you can learn all the vocab and Kanji quickly and, if your a woman, you get a personal alarm (not that it's really necessary but it's definitely reassuring)." - Dimitra (21 years) | |
| "The relaxed atmosphere." - Eva (20 years) | |
