Short term students with a temporary visitor visa will pay their tuition for 3 months, and long term students with a student visa will pay semi-annually.

Is there a student discount for traveling expenses?
Tokyo Galaxy Japanese Language School is a private school corporation, so our students can get the same discount as Japanese university students. You can purchase a student commuter pass for the specified route that you use for coming to school and going home. The discount rate is about 40 to 50 percent. However, only students with a student visa are eligible for the discount.

Where is the school located?
We are in the Nihonbashi area, the center of Tokyo. It’s only a 5 minutes ride on subway from the school to Ginza. You can reach Tokyo Station in 20 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by bus.

Can I transfer to a special course from the regular course?
You are allowed to transfer when your Japanese fluency level meet the requirements of the class and your attendance rate is 90% or higher. The requirements will be explained in detail at the new student orientation. The Special Preparatory Class for College Admission starts in April every year. The Business Japanese Class for finding a job in Japan starts in April and October. The Accelerated Learning Class for improving your Japanese fluency to JLPT N2 level and above starts in January and July.
