長期コース

Our Japanese Language Department aims to create an international learning environment where students can make their once-in-a-lifetime study abroad experience truly meaningful. We strive to provide not only Japanese language education but also opportunities to develop broader perspectives and global awareness. Currently, students from China, Nepal, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and other countries are studying Japanese together. Moving forward, we will continue to grow and adapt to meet the learning needs of our students and the demands of the times.
