We maintain a close relationship with the community so that our students in Japan will truly be able to experience the authentic Japanese lifestyle. By attending entrance and graduation ceremonies, the mayor of our city shows his respect and support for those students who have traveled from afar to learn his native language. NILS also has strong ties with the Ogori International Relationship Association which sponsors more events than do other cities. With these opportunities, our international students can experience true Japanese culture.

We hold a number of events at our school that the locals are encouraged to attend. Also our students can always take a quick thirty-minute train ride into Fukuoka City, a bustling metropolis where you can visit a number of important museums and sites.
The city is also recognized for having produced some of the most successful music artists in all of Japan.
A huge amount of talent and history is waiting to be seen in Fukuoka.

Five advantages to joining us

1. Authorized school

NILS is authorized by the Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education, established in 1989 with the approval of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the purpose of improving the quality of Japanese language institutes, providing a comfortable setting for foreign students to study Japanese.

2. Start speaking Japanese in three months

All teachers give students detailed lessons appropriate to students’ level.
Our teaching methods will help students not only to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, but also to prepare them for college and university exams.

Students are given a brief test on each topic. Teachers score each test accurately, determining the supplementary lessons most appropriate for the students.

And so, even starting from the most basic level, you will be able to start speaking Japanese exclusively in three months.
