LTL Japanese School Tokyo is located in the heart of Chiyoda, one of Tokyo’s most central and historically significant wards. The area combines modern business districts with traditional neighborhoods, giving students access to both the vibrant urban life and authentic Japanese culture.
The location is extremely convenient and well-connected, just a 3-minute walk from Awajicho Station on the Marunouchi Line, a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station serving the JR Lines, Hibiya Line, and Tsukuba Express, and an 8-minute walk from Kanda Station. With several train and metro lines nearby, students can easily reach major Tokyo districts such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ueno, and Tokyo Station within 15–20 minutes
The tempo and difficulty was good. Also the provided material is perfect.
I liked the teachers. Maybe I didn’t like the fact, that we had 4 different teachers in 2 weeks.
Location in Akihabara was also very central. The school staff always tries to offer activities. I liked the after school lunches and the Karaoke Night. The housing was not good unfortunately. I am usually not picky, but the Jing House, where I lived was not clean, and noisy. Compared to the price I paid, it was below the standard. Apparently I got a bigger room when I moved in, which was just ok. But after 3 days I had to move to a neighbour room. It was smaller, smaller bed, No window, and it had a stinky sink. After the other room it felt like a total downgrade, but I just tolerated that, because I barely spend time there…
Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying Japanese in Tokyo. These homes are often between 45 - 70 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
It is possible to live in a rented apartment during your study in Tokyo, but this tends to be more expensive. LTL Tokyo provides some assistance with apartment rentals or you can rent an apartment on your own. Learn more about apartment housing
