Leading Japanese Language Schools
Enjoy Learning, Enjoy Life
Our Japanese language school started as a group of volunteers in 2000 with one goal in mind: to help create cultural and language barrier-free lives for our students in Japan. Since then, we’ve expanded our schools to 3 locations (our Tokyo and YokohamaJapanese school) and launched our own textbook Nihongo Fun and Easy.
We've helped more than 8,000 students achieve their Japanese learning target. Now, we want to see you grow, too. We tailor our lessons depending on your Japanese needs, be it for JLPT, work, or just everyday life. From foundational basic and intermediate (N5-N3) to business Japanese (N2), we match your learning needs comprehensively.
Using a mix of in-house, original materials and textbooks, our Japanese courses put a strong emphasis on your Japanese skills for casual and professional use. Our Japanese teachers will assist you in reaching your goals!
Join any time. Our Japanese lessons start every month, in the morning or afternoon. Private Japanese lessons, intensive courses or JLPT preparation courses are available — all depending on your time, budget and learning preference.
We’re much more than a class — we’re a close-knitted international community of motivated learners with shared objectives. What to expect: low student-to-teacher ratio, community events and online student forums.

The staff and teachers are super nice, friendly, and helpful. I really enjoyed attending classes at the Yokohama location. The textbooks given are easy to understand and help you progress. Teachers remember little details and help you learn vocabulary applicable to your life. The Yokohama lobby has awesome snacks and drinks as a bonus! I […]

Pros: -Friendly Teachers -Accessible curriculum -Great for beginners -High quality and very professional Cons: […]

I am just about to complete my first class with Coto next week and even though I was not really sure if I made the right decision visiting this school due to my lack of research / price comparison of other available options, I am now convinced that it was a great choice. The rooms […]
