Our Japanese courses in Kyoto

Our Japanese courses in Kyoto immerse you in the heart of Japan’s rich cultural and historical heritage.

Welcome to Kyoto: the fascinating romantic imperial city!

As the former imperial capital, Kyoto is home to stunning temples, ancient shrines, traditional tea houses, and breathtaking gardens. The city’s timeless beauty, combined with its deep-rooted traditions, offers the perfect backdrop for mastering the Japanese language while experiencing the authentic spirit of Japan.

It has literally thousands of religious places and Budhist temples, hundreds of Shinto shrines, and traditional townhouses known as the machiya.

The cultural and historical heart of the country seduces its visitors with its sublime Zen gardens, old shops, traditional restaurants, ryokans (Japan’s exquisite traditional inns), festivals, charming Geishas and delicious cuisine.

In the “G” session, you’ll learn essential grammar, sentence structures, vocabulary, and kanji. The focus is on building your language foundation, making sure you understand how to use Japanese in real-life situations. After class, you’ll reinforce your new knowledge with fun homework assignments.

In the “4S” session, you’ll practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing. You’ll apply everything you learned in the previous session through interactive activities, like role-plays and presentations. Plus, you might even go on out-lessons to practice with locals in real-world settings!
