Nagano Campus is located in Ueda, where the Winter Olympics in 1998 took place due to its rich natural resources, and it’s just 1 hour and 30 minutes away by shinkansen from Tokyo. Ueda has been known as an industrial city in Japan so, compared to bigger cities like Tokyo and Osaka, is cheaper and the beautiful scenery makes it the best environment for studying. Ski resorts are 1 hour away by car so many students take the chance to ski and learn Japanese during Winter.
Since the campus is shared with a Vocational School, after finishing your 2 year Japanese course you can join our Vocational School for a 2 year diploma course. This way we can offer an integrated education of 4 years enhancing the vocational school characteristics.
Because there are Japanese students on the same campus, there are many opportunities to interact with them at school, extracurricular activities and cultural festivals.
Ueda is famous as a samurai city and because its rich nature surrounding the school. Castles and historical sites related to samurai, ski resorts and sightseeing spots are also abundant.

Everyone is friendly at school and the teachers teach us useful things. I've been able to make friends with Japanese students who attend the vocational school and it is a lot of fun.

I had a friend who was studying at Nagano Campus so I looked for it on the internet and saw that the tuition fee was lower and that it was a quiet place so I decided to study here.

The important thing is whether you can convince yourself of your choice in the future. If you fail, don't give up and think about your future image until you are satisfied. I will support and support with all my strength.

I always want to put together lessons that are easy for students to understand. I hope that Japanese will become a “weapon” that will enhance their lives. Let's work together!

Nagano Campus has obtained the approval from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as a vocational school. Thanks to that, students can benefit from student discount in public transportation. It is also a very good environment because both Japanese students and vocational school students share the same campus. After graduating from Japanese language school, students will take precedence if they want to enroll in one of the vocational school courses (International Communication/Global Business). Plus, you can stay at the student dormitory within walking distance from school and at a low price!
Through the life in Japan, I encountered wonderful people and could feel like a home staying at the dormitory. And my conversation skills have improved a lot through daily life.
