The step towards a dream has started when all the international students chose to learn Japanese in Japan. A wonderful future awaits international students who study hard. At Hitachi Gakuin, not only Japanese but also dormitory, part-time work, extracurricular lessons, etc. are helping to learn the culture and rules of the country called “Japan”.

Studying abroad in a culture that you are not used to after leaving your home country can be both happy and enjoyable, as well as painful and sad. But there are friends in the school who study Japanese with the same goals and teachers who support you. I would be happy to see fulfill your dreams fulfilled. Let’s work hard together.
