Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan - Hiroo Japanese Center

(Hiroo, Shibuya, Tokyo)

School Outline and Education Method

The Hiroo Japanese Center was established on September 1, 1984 and is accredited by the Japanese Government. Since then the school has been admitting only students from U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada and European countries.

The reason why the school has never admitted Chinese and other Asian students is stated as follow:

Firstly Chinese and Korean people are familiar with Chinese characters, therefore students from other countries are handicapped if they study with Chinese and Korean people.

Secondly the grammar of the Korean and some other Asian language is quite similar to Japanese.

Therefore those people can easily and quickly master Japanese. On the other hand, Western people are required to spend much more time studying the Japanese language.

Lesson Features

Students who can speak English are especially suited for language classes at Hiroo Japanese Center. Our goal is to assist students with no background in Kanji to obtain a logical, systematic and effective understanding of the Japanese language by the following method:

(1) Using English in all beginning level courses so that students can easily comprehend what is being taught.
(2) All classes are limited to 5 students.
