For those who are already in Japan and will not need a student visa.
This is a course for students who come to Japan with a visa status other than a college student visa and study Japanese for as little as 2 weeks. This course is also available for those who wish to stay in Japan on a working holiday visa or Japanese spouse visa. In the Short-Term General Japanese Course, students can systematically learn language behaviors (“listening,” “reading,” “speaking,” and “writing”) and language knowledge (“vocabulary” and “grammar”) according to their Japanese language level, so that they can learn Japanese well even in a short period of time.
Special note for 2023 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2023 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2022 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2023 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
