Genki Japanese and Culture School
Genki Japanese School is a study abroad school for foreigners who want to learn Japanese in Japan. We have locations in Fukuoka City, in southern Japan, and in Tokyo. We specialize in teaching Japanese communication, and unlike most Japanese language schools, our courses are aimed at speakers of non-kanji languages (mainly, European languages). You can start any Monday throughout the year, and study for as many weeks as you like. We’re the most flexible, fun and rewarding Japanese school in Japan!

Every year from 2009 to 2015, Genki Japanese School has been nominated by popular vote as one of the world’s star language schools, as part of Study Travel Magazine’s yearly Star Awards. GenkiJACS was nominated in the World Language Schools category. This means we’re not just one of the top Japanese schools in the world, but one of the top language schools! The nominees are decided based on voting by the language travel industry. Most of the other nominated schools have been operating for 20 years or more, so for GenkiJACS to be nominated alongside these schools is an honor for us, and a mark of the high quality education we provide.
