Genki Japanese and Culture School (GenkiJACS) is an internationally acclaimed communicational Japanese language school that offers short-term study abroad courses, learning the Japanese language and culture in a relaxed and friendly environment in Fukuoka, Tokyo and now Kyoto! We are located in the heart of Gion district in Kyoto, Japan's old capital.
GenkiJACS was nominated by popular vote as one of the world's top language schools every year from 2009 to 2021 winning in 2016 , 2018,2019 and 2020! We are one of only two Japanese language schools in the world that are accredited by IALC, the International Association of Language Centres, and the only one that focuses on Western students.
We offer courses in a range of areas, including conversational Japanese, pop culture, Japanese culture, and study for exams, all with an emphasis on practical work, inside and outside of the classroom.
For students coming from overseas to study abroad at our language school, we can prepare a range of accommodation options including dorms and private apartments, and arrange various activities for the duration of your stay. We're here to make learning Japanese worthwhile and enjoyable - that's why students return to GenkiJACS again and again!
All of GenkiJACS' teachers are graduates of a 420-hour Japanese teacher training course at a recognized study institution. We hire only the best, and perform regular training. Students agree: you won’t find better teachers!
We have 9 classrooms, and a large communal lounge for students to relax. Our classrooms are designed to facilitate learning in a relaxed and comfortable environment. The following facilities are available at the school for student use: PCs, free wireless Internet access, study space, game console, DVD/TV, manga/book library, and free coffee/tea. For holidays, GenkiJACS either arranges an alternate event for students for the day it is closed, or refunds tuition for that day.
Kyoto JaLS is located in Kyoto, the old capital of Japan, and specializes in short term Japanese language study. We are part of the JaLS GROUP which has won numerous awards since its establishment in 2012, combining professional Japanese tuition and our belief that each student should have the most valuable experience possible whilst studying in Japan. We use intensive and practical language study alongside a variety of activities and cultural experiences to welcome and support all our students in a warm and family-like atmosphere. It is our desire that all students feel at-home in Japan, are able to return to study in the future, and have a wonderful and deep experience of Japanese culture.
Genkiでの学習を通して、楽しみながら日本語についてたくさんの新しいことを学ぶことができました！先生方はとても親切で面白く、流暢さを重視する授業では、モチベーションを維持して一生懸命勉強することができました。キャンパスの立地も非常に便利で、阪急京都唐輪町駅から徒歩10分、さらにセブンイレブンの向かいにあるので、授業後にランチや買い物に行くのもとても楽でした！土曜日のアクティビティもとても楽しく、全体的に素晴らしい経験でした。 more
