About Coto Japanese Academy
Coto Japanese Academy started as a group of volunteer Japanese language teachers to help international residents transition smoothly to Japan. We focus on teaching Japanese for daily life situations, effectively assisting international residents to learn Japanese beyond the contents of standard textbooks. From there, we have helped 15,000 students achieve Japanese fluency, opened four campuses around Tokyo and Yokohama, created an online learning platform, and even published our first Japanese learning textbook, Nihongo Fun and Easy.
