Learn Japanese with the Best: Study Abroad in Fukuoka!
No July Homestays!
All of our host families are booked for the month of July! Students requesting dormitory or private apartment will be given priority.
Genki Japanese and Culture School (GenkiJACS) is an NPO (Non-Profit Organization) Japanese language school that offers short-term study abroad courses, learning Japanese language and culture in a relaxed and friendly environment.
We are located in Tenjin, the heart of Fukuoka City, in Kyushu, South Japan.
We offer courses in a range of areas, including conversational Japanese,
Japanese through pop culture, Japanese culture, and study
for exams, all with an emphasis on practical work, inside and outside of
the classroom. For students coming from overseas to study abroad at our language school, we can
prepare a range of accommodation options including homestays, and arrange various activities for the duration of your
stay. We're here to make your Japanese learning enjoyable and worthwhile.
If you're ready to learn Japanese the right way, we're ready to teach you!
Busy Summer Season
As every year, we recommend all students with a flexible schedule to book your study outside summer (June-August). More details here...

GenkiJACS is not just your normal Japanese school.
Here are some of the differences:
-
Small class size
Classes are limited to a maximum of 6 students, and usually have around 3, giving you plenty of chance to practice with the teacher.Unique Courses
You won't find our "Japanese through Pop Culture" and "Japanese and Traditional Culture" courses at other schools!All ability levels accepted
Whether you are a complete beginner, an expert, or somewhere in between, we have a class for you. -
Practical topics
All classroom work is based on increasing your practical ability, and reinforced with practical activities outside of the classroom wherever possible. -
Relevant materials
Our teachers are constantly evaluating new learning materials, and creating our own where existing materials do not satisfy us. -
Only licensed teachers
Unlike some other Japanese schools, all of GenkiJACS' teachers are graduates of a 420-hour Japanese teacher training course at a recognized study institution. We hire only the best, and perform regular training. Students agree: you won’t find better teachers!
* We may hire teachers shortly before they graduate, as trainee teachers, if they show excellent teaching ability. -
Flexible schedules
Courses start every Monday year-round, and you can study for as long as you want, from 2 weeks to a year or more! We schedule classes to fit your needs, instead of forcing you to learn when we want you to learn! -
Low cost
We are in the education field because we love teaching and want to spread understanding of Japanese culture, so our courses are priced as low as we can make them. If you find comparable courses cheaper at other Japanese schools, please tell us!
