Why we like Genki Japanese and Culture School
We like Genki Japanese and Culture School because they have two locations: Fukuoka and Tokyo.
Originally the school owner opened their school in Fukuoka in Kyushu Island. Because of the school’s popularity, they decided to open their Tokyo center. Through their program, you can learn not only Japanese language, but also Japanese traditional or pop culture.
You can experience both Tokyo and Fukuoka locations. For junior or younger students, Fukuoka location would be ideal to have more local or family like atmosphere. Fukuoka is also one of the biggest cities in Japan. Wifi is available there.
