About

Hokkaido JaLS is a short-term Japanese language school in central Sapporo, combining practical study with local activities. Standard groups have a maximum of 8 students. Ask about suitability, supervision and accommodation for minors.

Study and Admission

Standard study starts from 1 week, on Mondays, and finishes on Fridays. JaLS does not sponsor student visas. Confirm appropriate permission to stay and any internship activities for your nationality and study period before booking; a short course does not automatically make a visa unnecessary.
