Information

Genki Japanese School Tokyo is a Japanese language school founded in 2013.

The Genki Japanese school is specialized in teaching communicative Japanese. Unlike most Japanese schools, courses are aimed at speakers of languages other than Kanji (mainly European).

The school overlooks the famous Hanazono Shrine, just an 8-minute walk from Shinjuku Train Station, the world's busiest train station, and the closest subway station, Shinjuku 3 choume, is only 3 minutes walk.

Despite being the Japanese school in the centre of Tokyo and a very busy part of the city, the location of the language school is in a quiet and relaxed area, which makes it a perfect environment to learn the Japanese language and culture.

The school has 8 classrooms, a reception area for students with friendly staff who are always ready to help you and speak perfect English, a student lounge, microwave, PC with broadband Internet access, free WIFI, Wii game console with a large selection of games, large on-screen video projector and library with free instant coffee and tea.

All Japanese teachers are qualified to teach Japanese as a foreign language.

The government of Japan accredits Japanese Genki schools, it is also one of only two Japanese schools accredited by the International Association of Language Centres and the first Japanese school to be voted a Star World Language School in Japan, the highest award in the industry.
