GenkiJACS Nagoya

Welcome to Genki Japanese and Culture School Nagoya, a Japanese language school in Nagoya located in the heart of Aichi Prefecture. Whether you want to learn Japanese in Nagoya, improve your conversational Japanese skills, or experience Japanese culture firsthand, Nagoya offers the perfect balance of modern city life, history, and convenience.

As Japan's Third-largest city. This region was home to the three men who shaped Japan: Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Fast forward a couple of hundred years and another son of Aichi, Kiichiro Toyoda, would start a company that has been shaping our lives for the last century -- Toyota Motors -- and establish Nagoya as one of the nation’s major manufacturing centers. Nagoya combines rich samurai heritage with innovation and industry. Located between Tokyo and Osaka, it is an ideal base for exploring Japan while studying Japanese.

From historic landmarks such as Nagoya Castle and Atsuta Shrine to world-class museums, food, shopping, and entertainment, Nagoya offers endless opportunities to practise your Japanese and experience daily life in Japan. Study Japanese in Nagoya with GenkiJACS and discover why this vibrant city is one of Japan's best-kept secrets.
