What we like about the school
- Free coffee and tea for students.
- Excellent rating of homestay accommodation (4.6/5.0)
- Free assistance in finding flats for long-term students.
- For chain schools: Same conditions for waiving the inscription fee also apply if the student has booked at another school of the same school chain.
What we dislike about the school
- The Tokyo campus is a little bit more expensive than the other Genki schools in Japan.
Location: The school is in the heart of Shinjuku, which is to the west of Tokyo. It is known as an entertainment district within the city. The neighborhood has neon-lights on shop fronts and an array of restaurants, bars, karaoke venues and more all within walking distance of the school. Genki Japanese and Culture School itself is situated within the grounds of the famous Hanazono Shrine.
Getting around the city: The Shinjuku Station is a large transportation hub in Tokyo, which is a 7 minutes walk from the school. It is a central point for many train lines, and there is an important bus station attached to it. It takes 45 minutes by public transport from the school to the centre of the city.
Attractions in Tokyo: It is easy to visit the local attractions of Tokyo from Genki Japanese and Culture School as it has an excellent travel station nearby. It takes 35 minutes by train to visit the Imperial Palace, Sensō-ji and the Sky tower are both around 45 minutes from the school and the attractions to the south of the city such as the Meiji Jingu and the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden are 30 minutes by foot.
Course structure: There are Japanese courses for short-term and long-term students, Japanese lessons that focus on understanding the culture as well as the language and a specific conversational course.
School facilities: The school is equipped for students to continue their learning outside class with a number of PCs that students can use with office applications, a study space, a book and manga library, free rental of DVDs as well as portable dvd and cd players to listen to Japanese for studying. There is free coffee and tea that students can have during their break, and a wii game console to interact with other students once lessons have finished.
School chain: GenkiJACS, as a group, currently has four schools in Japan, in Fukuoka, Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto. Since 2005, GenkiJACS has supplied quality Japanese language tuition and cultural programmes to students of all levels and many nationalities. Their initial success has seen the group expand steadily, regularly recognised by awards throughout the education sector, including being voted the Star World Language School of the year at the industry Star Awards in 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020.
- The language school Genki Japanese and Culture School was founded in Tokyo, Japan in 2013.
- Legal name / parent company: Global With us
- Tax registration ID: 00062090

Student comments about "Japanese Plus Conversation"
Adrian:
"GenkiJACS was an incredible learning experience. I have been studying Japanese for a while but when I got to the school they quickly pointed out what level I should be learning and placed me in the perfect class with peers with similar level. The conversation class especially helped me be able to speak the language better. I felt a huge improvement in only a month! The teachers are all so helpful and nice so you really feel at ease in the classroom. All in all I would say that if you are interested in learning Japanese in Tokyo GenkiJACS is the place to be! "

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: In order to live in a host family, in my opinion, you need to have at least a minimal knowledge of Japanese. Approximately the level I received after 40 hours of my studies :) despite the fact that in my case the mother spoke English, it was clear that the desire to communicate in Japanese prevailed. Therefore, there was a language barrier.
There is no problem with food. My way to metro took around 15 minutes, and there were 15 cafes on my route. You'd better buy Pasmo or Suica card to use public transport. This card is much faster and more convenient. Credit / debit cards are accepted at most stores, but cash is required to pay for a travel card and in almost all cafes. You have to have at least 30,000 yen with you. Regarding apartments: they are next to Ryugoku metro station, the way to school takes about 40 minutes in general: on foot and by train.
Other comments: Many thanks to the school! Maybe I will come again for a couple of weeks.
I did not assess the events, because I could not attend any. But it's my fault. The school organized an activity every Friday, for a small fee.
Classes are OK. There is air conditioning. The building overlooks an office building and a temple, quite quiet.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: The private lessons at the school are very good. Conversationclass does not bring very much. Since you mainly only talk to classmates about some topic, which is determined by the teacher.
Other comments: The lessons were interesting but the progress was not very fast so that we did only 2 chapters in 6 weeks.
Tanja
27 years“The teachers were very motivated and friendly. I made a lot of progress in learning the language.”

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: Don't miss out on the social activities the school provides, they are all really fun but unfortunately sometimes they have to be cancelled because not enough students participate.
Other comments: The location of the school right in shinjuku is great, it is pretty amazing that it is in one of the busiest districts of Tokyo but it is very calm in the school area because it is located right next to a shrine.
