When people think about studying Japanese in Japan, Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka are usually the first cities that come to mind.
But what about Nagoya?
Genki Japanese and Culture School has expanded its options in Nagoya, and there is exciting news for international visitors: short-term Japanese language programs are now available for students coming to Japan as temporary visitors.
Previously, the Nagoya location primarily focused on longer-term students who required a student visa. Now, students who want to combine a trip to Japan with Japanese language study have another great option.
Why Nagoya?
Nagoya is one of Japan’s major cities, but it has a very different feel from Tokyo or Osaka.
It is large, modern, convenient, and easy to get around, while generally feeling less crowded and overwhelming than Japan’s biggest tourist destinations.
And, of course, Nagoya is famous for its food! From miso katsu and tebasaki chicken wings to hitsumabushi, there is plenty to explore outside the classroom.
Its central location is another advantage. Nagoya is well connected by Shinkansen and makes a convenient base for exploring other parts of Japan during your stay.
For students who want the convenience of a major Japanese city without necessarily choosing Tokyo or Osaka, Nagoya may be the perfect balance.
Combine Japanese Study with Your Japan Experience
A short-term language program can be a great option if you are already planning a trip to Japan but would like to experience something beyond sightseeing.
Instead of spending your entire trip as a tourist, why not spend part of your stay learning Japanese, meeting other international students, and experiencing everyday life in Japan?
You don’t necessarily need to commit to a semester or a year abroad. A shorter program can be an excellent introduction to studying and living in Japan.
