For International Students

Our school has been certified as a proper school from Sapporo Regional Immigration Bureau. We have opened a Japanese language school in Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido! Sapporo is a Hokkaido’s center of politics, economy, education and culture. Although Sapporo is such a big city with a population of around 2 millions, it offers a great deal of nature. Would you like to learn Japanese at the place, where city and nature have grown together? The prices and rents are cheap(the average rent is ¥33,000), and since the average temperature in August is 22.3ºC, it’s comfortable to live here.
There are many famous sightseeing spots, and a variety of seasonal events, and of course a lot of different delicious dishes like Seafood, Jingisukan, soup curry, ramen and so on!
Let’s start your study in Japan together, at the Yu Language Academy!
Friendly and cheerful teachers are waiting for you!
