School

Our partner school, ISI, in Tokyo is located in the Takadanobaba district, only a stone's throw away from the Shin-Okubo metro station on the JR Yamanote line. In this very lively district of Shinjuku, vyou are in the very centre of Tokyo. Universities, a large library, sports halls, cultural centres and a wide variety of restaurants and shops make up the decor of this dynamic sector of the capital. The course centre is modern, large and the atmosphere is convivial. You will get to know students there from throughout the world! In 11 comfortable classrooms, the teachers use modern tools in order to make the learning of Japanese exciting and varied. A large common "open space" lounge allows for lively discussions. The library and the computer room provide information complementary to the Japanese course. Vending machines for snacks and drinks are available and hot water allows you to prepare coffee and tea. An other campus of the school is located in the same district. It has a computer room with Internet access, a library and relaxation areas as well as 19 classrooms.

Accommodation

Guesthouse
ISI-Tokyo proposes staying in a guesthouse (Matsudo, Warabi or Shiki). This is the option which is most often chosen by European students. You will have your own small bedroom and will share the common areas (kitchen/dining room, laundry, showers, living room with TV and Internet zone) with the other residents. You will need to allow for around 45 minutes by metro to get to the school, and around 18'000 yen per month for transport costs.
Important: the accommodation must be booked a minimum of 2 months in advance for a duration of 4 weeks only. For longer stays, the extension of the booking must be made on-site.

Leisure

After class, you will certainly find plenty to occupy your afternoons and evenings. Travel around Tokyo, from the Imperial Palace to the Electric Town of Akihabara, passing through the City of Dolls (Ningyocho). Do some shopping, learn about Japanese tea ceremonies, take a course in Ikebana or contemplate, your nose to the sky, the way-out designs of Metabolist architecture. Anything is possible in the immense capital of Japan. The school will also give you ideas and advice on what to do and see: climbing trails on Mount Fuji, water sports in summer and hiking, ice-skating, skiing and snowboarding in winter.
