Ichikawa Japanese Language Institute was established in 1989 with the aim to prepare “all students studying in Japan” so they can succeed in graduate school, university, and vocational school. The academy therefore has strict standards of instruction in its language learning, vocational training, and attendance policy, but couples this with taking care of the life of its international students to ensure success. In addition to this, the school also organizes “trade communication” lectures, and helps with job offers for students under the approval of the Japanese Ministry of Labor and Welfare in order to meet the growing desire to work in Japan. To fulfill the mission of successful education, a team of professional and enthusiastic teachers and enthusiastic staff support culture- and life-related issues. The school is located in Ichikawa, which is about 20 minutes to the center of Tokyo, with affordable and quality living conditions available to suit international students.
