About Us

We began in 2000 as a group of volunteer Japanese language teachers with a goal to help international residents in Japan. We wanted to teach Japanese for daily life that you wouldn’t learn from studying a textbook. Since then, we’ve grown rapidly and opened two more school locations. In 2009, we published our first Japanese learning textbook Nihongo Fun and Easy. We’re proud to met students and developed life-long friendships with them.

But our mission stays the same: to teach our students by teaching them “real” Japanese. It is our hope that with their new Japanese abilities, our students can lead barrier-free lives in Japan.
