Genki Japanese and Culture School, Tokyo, Japan

Genki Japanese and Culture School emphasizes learning Japanese on an existential level, experiencing, feeling, and living Japanese culture, and learning the language as a way to do so. All three locations promise small class sizes of fewer than nine students, award-winning curriculum, and scheduling flexibility. Students of all levels are welcome, and the school helps secure whichever type of visa a student needs for their length of study. Genki classes are divided into input and output sessions, the former being the half of the class when students take in new vocabulary and grammar, and the latter consisting of practice and application. Core Japaneses classes can be combined with certain add-ons, such as traditional culture, pop culture, conversation, or private lessons. A variety of residence halls and apartments are available, or students can stay with a local host family in order to better immerse themselves in the language and culture. Genki Tokyo is conveniently located within walking distance of Shinjuku Station, connecting students with the rest of the city, the island and all of Japan. The school itself has access to all the latest technology for which the country is famous, ensuring that students have all the resources they need for success. The Hanazono Shrine, Tokyo Toy Museum, and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden are within walking distance of the campus, and efficient public transportation makes it possible for students to visit famous landmarks such as the Tokyo Skytree and the historic Senso-ji Temple. Immersion into Japanese culture is easy in Tokyo as students find the best sushi and ramen in the world, watch anime films at Akihabara, and sample Japanese fashion in both chic boutiques and expansive shopping malls.
