About Us

 

Kyoto, Japan’s old capital with 1,200 years of tradition, is home to many prestigious universities such as Kyoto University and Doshisha University. Our academy is located in Sakyo-ku, a part in Kyoto City that has a particularly academic atmosphere. You can study Japanese in a quiet environment and work towards admission to a university under the guidance of Rakuhoku Gakuen’s college preparation division (everyone can pass college entrance examination). You will also have a chance to receive the support of the non-profit organization Chikyumura International Student Exchange Center in finding a job at a Japanese company.
