About Us
We opened in 2011 in two rooms above a bookshop in Kupondole with nine students and one whiteboard. The method has not changed: small batches, daily speaking, and no student left behind in a corner.
Today four native instructors and six JLPT-certified Nepali teachers run fourteen batches a term, from Kids Nihongo on Saturday mornings to N1 reading seminars. Our counselling desk has placed students in 38 partner institutions across Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka.

留学相談
Honest guidance on language schools, senmon gakko and universities — document preparation, COE application, visa interview rehearsal and pre-departure orientation.
Student stories
I walked in knowing zero hiragana. Fourteen months later I passed N3 and moved to Kyoto. The mock exams were harder than the real one — which is exactly why it worked.

The Business Japanese class taught me how to actually speak to my supervisor. Keigo felt impossible until we practised it every single class.

Their study-abroad team never oversold anything. They told me which school suited my budget and prepared me for the visa interview twice.

Gallery
Classrooms, calligraphy afternoons, festival evenings and the alumni who send photos back from Japan.
