Japanese Language School- Genki JACS

Of all the different Japanese language programs offered, we chose to study at Genki JACS (Japanese and Culture School), an accredited and internationally recognized school. The school has two locations, a newly opened one in central Tokyo and one in southern Japan, Fukuoka. We'll be in the new center in Tokyo which is located near Shinjuki Station, the world's largest train and subway station. The location sounds great, but the busy hub makes us a little apprehensive with over 60 exits in the station alone. (We've read that there are even train packers to push people in the train during rush hour, so it will be literally packed like sardines.)

The school specially tailors to Western English-speaking students and so far the staff has been excellent in communicating with us. (Our guess is that the main administrator is an American- his English name Evan is a good clue; but the main director is Japanese). The program runs yearly and offers language, culture, and conversation classes each week. We'll be there four weeks, starting class July 1-26, so we may have different classmates each week. Our schedule will basically be four 50-minute classes per day, usually from 9:30am to 2:30pm, five times a week.
