Genki Japanese and Culture School

The best way to fully immerse yourself in the Japanese language and culture is to live with a local host family. All our host families are no more than 60 minutes from the school by public transport, with an average journey of around 45 minutes. You'll be placed in a single room with bed linen provided—we recommend bringing your own towels as these are not always supplied. Wi-Fi is included, and you'll have free use of the laundry facilities. Each day you'll enjoy a home-made breakfast and dinner prepared by your hosts, giving you a true taste of daily Japanese life. This is the perfect option for students looking to go beyond the classroom and experience Japan from the inside out.

A private apartment is a great base from which to explore a new city, with independence and privacy. Each apartment is for a single student and comes with an en-suite bathroom, a bed, a clothes rack, a small desk, and a fully equipped kitchen, giving you everything you need to settle in and live like a true Nagoya local. Bed linen is provided, though we recommend bringing your own towels. Wi-Fi is included, and laundry facilities are either available within the apartment or nearby at an additional cost. All ten apartments are available year-round, located between 30 and 50 minutes from school by public transport, and surrounded by plenty of shops, restaurants, and convenience stores
