Minori International Academy
Many students across Asia dream of studying in Japan, learning a specialized field, and contributing to society. To achieve this, understanding the Japanese language and culture is essential — and the place to build that foundation is a Japanese language school.
Drawing from personal experience studying in Japan and years of supporting international students, this school was founded with the hope that students who dream of a bright future in Japan can enjoy a "productive study abroad experience."
Minori International Academy is a Japanese language school in Nirasaki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, surrounded by rich nature and warm people. Nirasaki is embraced by the majestic Southern Alps and Yatsugatake Mountains, offering beautiful scenery across all four seasons in a safe and peaceful living environment. It takes about 2 hours by train to Tokyo, making it well-connected while providing a calm environment to concentrate on studies and naturally experience Japanese culture and daily life.
In our classes, we provide balanced instruction in five skills — listening, speaking (interaction), speaking (presentation), reading, and writing — developing students step by step from everyday conversation to advanced Japanese needed for higher education and employment. Through Japanese cultural experiences and community exchange events, students deepen their understanding of living Japanese and culture beyond the classroom.
Minori International Academy is both a place of learning and a place where students from various countries meet, grow, and support each other. We hope that the experiences here will bring great rewards to each student's life.
