Fukuoka JaLS (30+) Study in Japan for adults in Fukuoka, where the city and nature are in beautiful harmony. Fukuoka Campus is a Japanese language school for adults over 30 years old. While maintaining the features of the JaLS GROUP such as ‘small class sizes of up to 6 students per class’, a wide variety of activities and ‘interaction with Japanese people’, which can only be achieved by specialising in short-term study abroad, Fukuoka JaLS has been created for adults in terms of lesson themes and activity content. The small campus with a maximum of 50 students allows us to provide detailed support tailored to each student's individual goals and pace. The school is also located directly connected to Hakata Station, Kyushu's largest terminal station, so you can spend your time both inside and outside the school in the best possible way.
