What we like about the school
- Located in the centre of Kobe and is just seconds away from transit hubs.
- Every afternoon free organized leisure activities for adults and juniors
Location: Lexis Japan is in the Chuo Ward of Kobe, to the south of the city. The school is in an excellent location within the area, close to a transportation hub, a large number of shopping options and a short walk to the waterfront. There is a vibrant feel in the neighbourhood, with lots of local restaurants and a busy nightlife.
Travelling around Kobe: 5 minutes from the school by foot is the Motomachi Station. This train station has a number of lines running through it that stretch across the city. There is an extensive bus service throughout the city, and a number of stations are close to the school. A 10-minute walk from the school brings students to a prominent part of the city.
City features: Habourland is an important feature of the city, filled with shopping options and entertainment features. This is ten minutes by train or 20 minutes by foot from Lexis Japan. The school is right around the corner from Kobe Chinatown Nankin-machi, and Kobe Port Tower and Meriken Park are just 15 minutes away.
Course structure: Lexis Japan has group Japanese courses and private classes in Japanese. There is a teen programme for junior students.
Services: The school has a student service desk to help students with any issues they may have during their stay. There are homestay advisors to support students through their accommodation option.

“Very, very nice staff. I felt very comfortable. Bright, light-flooded rooms. On the last day there was a farewell ceremony with all participants of the school, during which the certificate was handed over and a group photo was taken.”
Other comments: The school sign could be improved. It is not visible from the outside of the building that the school is located here. It is a small "side entrance" and therefore difficult to find the first time. Very, very quick teaching, so that it was sometimes difficult to keep up. In the full-time course, the afternoon block is used to address these doubts. That’s very good. The website does not state that English language skills are a prerequisite. The material is taught in English (my school English was - thank God - enough!).

“The teachers and the entire staff are probably made up of the nicest people I have met. That applies to most Japanese people, but the school staff really deserves a special mention. A pleasure both in and outside of class. The classmates were also all super nice, sociable people.”
Insider tip: “Take part in the activities and become friends! You will not regret it.”
Other comments: Super accommodating. I forgot to transfer the balance. Lexis let me sort out financial matters during the stay, which took several days.

“The teachers are very open and friendly. The school is located right in the center in a modern building.”
Insider tip: “Definitely join the leisure activities.”
Other comments: The summer courses are too full, at least at the beginners' level (up to 20 participants). It's best to learn the Hiragana and the Katagana alphabet in advance. The beginner courses are very mixed in regards to the level of the participants, and with zero previous knowledge, it becomes difficult.

“The kitchen !”
Insider tip: “Do your homework ! do not hesitate to complain about students that disturb other students learning”
Other comments: Lack of professionalism regarding learning.
The homestay accommodation organisation is doing a poor job. I spent 5 days in the living room sleeping on an air mattress, waiting for an US student to leave. My host didn't have enough keys to give me one in the beginning, I always had to wait for the other residents to arrive to able to enter the house after class (wait 30 minutes in front of the house in crazy hot temperatures).
I wish I could get a financial compensation (I mean my parents).
