COURSES
Standard Japanese Course
The Standard Japanese Course at GenkiJACS Tokyo focuses on practical Japanese skills for everyday conversations, travel, work and life in Japan. Classes mix grammar instruction with communicative practice so students can use language both inside and outside the classroom. Weekly lessons include a balance of grammar, speaking, listening, reading and writing created to help learners progress quickly and confidently. Courses start every Monday year-round and run in flexible durations from 2 weeks up to several months or longer. This course is ideal for beginners to intermediate learners who want to improve their Japanese in a dynamic, immersive setting.
Japanese Plus Culture Course
The Japanese Plus Conversation Course builds on the standard course by adding five weekly small-group conversational classes. These extra sessions focus on advanced speaking skills, including slang, dialects and specialized vocabulary that are often hard to learn in typical classroom settings. Students use real scenarios such as making phone calls, ordering food, asking for directions, and more to practice Japanese in practical contexts. This course suits learners who already have some Japanese experience and want to enhance fluency and confidence in everyday communication. Like other courses, it offers flexible durations and weekly start dates.
ACCOMMODATION
Homestay
Genki JACS Tokyo arranges homestay placements with Japanese host families for students who want immersive language practice and cultural insight. Homestay provides a private bedroom in a local family home, helping learners use Japanese daily and experience real Japanese lifestyle. Hosts may include breakfast and dinner, and special needs like non-smoking preferences or dietary requirements can often be accommodated. Homestay is ideal for those who want stable support and conversational opportunities outside class. This option suits short-term travelers and first-time visitors who seek deeper cultural engagement alongside structured class study. Weekly pricing varies based on season and family arrangement.
Shared Residence
Genki JACS Tokyo offers shared residences or dormitory-style housing options for students seeking community living. These accommodations feature private rooms within shared houses or guesthouses, providing social connections with other learners. Shared residences typically have shared kitchen and living spaces, giving learners independence while still providing support when needed. This option fits students who want mix of freedom and community, often located conveniently close to school and public transit. Prices are based on room type and duration of stay and vary by provider. Shared residence is ideal for medium-term stays and students who enjoy meeting fellow learners.
Private Apartment
For students desiring maximum independence, Genki JACS can assist in arranging private apartments in Tokyo. These fully furnished spaces include kitchens and bathrooms, allowing learners to live like locals while studying. Apartments are suitable for long-term students or those who prefer their own space and schedule. Living alone offers flexibility but typically costs more than homestays or shared housing. Apartments are often located near the school or near major transportation nodes, making commuting convenient. Weekly or monthly rental rates vary widely depending on location, size and contract length, so contacting the school for the latest pricing is recommended.
