I particularly like group work, as I usually feel like it's the most practical way to improve in the language.

Adam from 2013

The opportunity to talk with other students from all around the world is always the best part of studying at KCP for me. Of course it’s an opportunity to practice Japanese, but it’s also fascinating to hear what they have to say about all kinds of things.

I have had such a wonderful time in Tokyo.

Yuna from 2013

I have found all of the culture classes interesting as Japanese culture is so different from English culture so learning about these differences has not only been fascinating but also useful for daily life in Japan.

Culture immersion allowed us to see Japan's past.

Ronnie from 2013

The full Japanese immersion taught me more than I could have thought possible. Though sometimes a little guidance was needed, it was easy to pick things up and continue living in Japan without any trouble.

Even if you have never studied Japanese before do not be afraid. Tokyo is very foreigner friendly and there are lots of other students here willing to help you out if you need it.

Testimonials

If you are looking to study Japanese in Japan, I highly recommend KCP International. For starters, it’s in Tokyo! (And who doesn’t want to be in Tokyo?) KCP is in an extremely convenient location and using public transportation you can pretty much get around anywhere.
