What we dislike about the school

  • Do not offer favorable cancellation terms in the case of a student getting a visa rejected.

Location: ISI is in Ueda city, to the north of the province of Nagano. It is just underneath the capital city of the region, also called Nagano. The school is centrally located in Ueda, and has lots of amenities around the immediate area including shops, cafes and restaurants.

Ueda city: Due to its location, most of Ueda is walkable from the school. The Ueda City Historical Museum and the Ueda Castle Ninomaru ruin are just over 10 minutes by foot from ISI. The Ario Ueda Shopping Mall is 20 minutes from the school.

Exploring the area: The school is 13 minutes away from the Ueda Transportation Station which has trains that stretch across the region. From this station, the city of Nagano is a 45-minute train ride. The Zenk?-ji Temple is 20 minutes from the train station in Nagano. There is lots of natural beauty within the region, such as the KamikochiValley. This takes either 4 hours by public transportation or 2 hours by car. Matsumoto is a picturesque town with the Matsumoto Castle. This southern city is an hour and a half away by train or a 60 minute drive.

Course structure: ISI has courses that are created in two formats; one that students will need a visa for and one that does not require a visa. These are both group classes for learning general Japanese. The school offers packages of individual classes.
  • The language school ISI Language School was founded in Nagano, Japan in 1992.
  • Legal name / parent company: ISI Educational Corporation
  • Tax registration ID: 19335
  • Abbreviated name of school: ISI Nagano
