About Saiki Minsai
Founded in Kyoto in 2001, Kyoto Minsai Japanese Language School values connections between people and has contributed to the local community for over 20 years, focusing on Japanese language education for international students and cultural & international exchanges.
During that time, we are proud to have been able to deepen our ties with the local community in Kyoto, the center of Japanese culture, through the training of Japanese language teachers and through cultural & sports activities with our international students, university students, and local residents.
Now, using our experience to date, we have established a new school, Saiki Minsai Japanese Language School, in Saiki City, Oita Prefecture.
We are extremely pleased to be able to contribute to the development of the city, working together alongside both citizens and the government as one. With our passion for revitalizing communities and our philosophy as the axis, we aim to craft a bright future together.
At Saiki Minsai Japanese Language School, international students learn Japanese language, culture, and ways of living through practical classes so that they are able to take part in the local community.
