JAPANESE LANGUAGE IMMERSION IN OKAZAKI CITY JAPAN
______________________________________________________________

JAPANESE LANGUAGE SCHOOL & COURSES, STUDY ABROAD IN OKAZAKI CITY JAPAN

Enjoy a Japananese language course in Japan at our language school in the city of Okazaki.

Located in the eastern part of Aichi Prefecture in central Japan about 40 kilometers from southeast of Nagoya. Okazaki is about halfway between Tokyo and Osaka, halfway between Kyoto and Mount Fuji.

The city of Okazaki (approx. 360,000) is ideally located for students to visit both Tokyo and Osaka, with excellent train connections and offers a much cheaper way to live.

One of the joys of Okazaki is its rich history. You can see much of the thousand plus years of rich history, but you can also participate in the festivals, learn the arts, and contribute to a local culture that values and has a great respect for its history and origins.

It is also one of Japan's greenest cities with a beautiful natural environment featuring many parks, the Yahagigawa and Otogawa Rivers, the Mikawa Mountains and the Okazaki Plains.
