Kobe Toyo Japanese College was established in order to give you the training and ability to develop your future potential. Our experienced staff offers total support to our students, responding to your requests with flexible ideas. For example, with our course in Eastern Medicine, we can provide help to those who plan to continue study in the medical field. We also support those who intend to study at universities in Japan or work for Japanese companies.
Lesson Features
There are a lot of opportunities to speak in a class because the number of students in a class is small. The program involves not only studying in a class environment, but also emphasizing the building of communication skills which can be used in any situation by doing activities and project work. Also the project work leads to the gaining of skills that can be expressed in Japanese.

Student's Voice
As there are not as many people in Kobe as there are in Tokyo, Kobe is an easy and kind place for foreigners to live. I think that it is a very good environment to study Japanese. There is not only study in the classroom, but also a class that involves speaking with quite a large number of Japanese people. I seriously think the practice is very useful so that our Japanese skills may progress though I sometimes want to skip the class (because it is sometimes very tough for me.) Teachers and the classmates are kind and we can enjoy various cultures from various countries. (Taiwan/Female)
Teachers Voice
An international view can be acquired by making the best use of not only daily exchange with Japanese students at the medical treatment school established as an annex, but also the advantage of being part of a multinational class at our college. You can happily acquire natural Japanese in the beautiful setting of Kobe while meeting various people in extracurricular activities and through the exchange association. Our staff can improve your skills, and are waiting for your visit us in Kobe. (Principal Hirosada Kawamura)
