Coto Academy has always been committed to providing the highest-quality Japanese lessons at the fairest price possible. That commitment hasn’t changed since 2000, and it’s thanks to our students, staff, and teachers that we’ve grown so much over the years.
To maintain the level of lesson quality you deserve, we’ve made the decision to adjust prices across all of our courses and campuses, effective November 1, 2026.
This revision reflects the steady rise in operational costs over recent years, including classroom maintenance, daily school operations, and ensuring fair and competitive compensation for our teaching team.

When Does the New Pricing Take Effect?
The new prices apply to payments and automatic withdrawals made on or after November 1, 2026. Even if you submit your application by October 31, the new pricing will still apply if your payment or withdrawal is scheduled for November 1 or later.
What Courses Are Affected?
The price update will affect most Coto Academy courses across all Coto Academy locations, but not its sister school, Coto Japanese Institute. The courses affected include intensive courses, part-time Japanese courses, private Japanese courses, and online lessons too.
Only the price is changing, effective November 1. Everything else, including your current package, expiration date, and terms and conditions, remains exactly the same unless we send a separate notice.
If you’re already planning to continue learning Japanese with Coto Academy for November and beyond, we encourage you to take advantage of current pricing before the new rates take effect and finalize any payments before November 1.
