About Fukuoka
The city of Fukuoka is the largest in Kyushu, in southern Japan. It offers a moderate climate, and due to its cleanliness, safety, and excellent services, it is a highly recommended location to study Japanese. The summers are warm, the winters mild, and the people are friendly. Fukuoka's renowned cuisine and the warmth of its people will make your stay here a pleasure. The city is full of wonderful restaurants, and it is difficult to visit an izakaya (a local restaurant) without making new friends. The city combines traditional and modern Japan and is an excellent destination for those who want total immersion in the language, as there are not so many foreigners there.
School location
The school is centrally located in Fukuoka, a city of 1.5 million people, just a short walk from southern Japan's largest subway and train station. All necessary amenities, such as banks, post offices, stores, restaurants, etc., are within walking distance of the school. In addition, there is a park and a river nearby. The nearest bathing beach is only 15 minutes away by bus, and there is a beautiful beach and tourist area (Momochi) less than 20 minutes away.

Japanese courses for Teens in Japan : Testimonials
We just wanted to drop you a quick note to express our thanks for your support during the entire process, from our introductory call earlier this year, to the completion of the program and David’s return to our Home.
We were very pleased with our experience, and David had a fantastic time in Fukuoka. David was very happy about the school, the teachers and the education he received, as well as the activities. We appreciated the fact that they were only 6 student per class, allowing for efficient learning!
We couldn’t have hoped for a better match with the host family either, who’s been fantastic and who could involve David into their day to day activities, including some cooking and participation to weekly volleyball training with their son.
We will be looking forward to arranging another trip for David next year, possibly in Kyoto, with Nacel.
Thank you again!
