Venue: Meiji Academy in Sapporo is located right beside the popular Susukino neighbourhood, the city’s main entertainment and shopping district. Sapporo is renowned for its beautiful, mild summers and picturesque snowy winters, not to mention its friendly inhabitants. Meiji Academy is in the heart of the action in Sapporo and there is much to see and do in the surrounding streets. Nakajima Park, a large green space complete with a lake and two streams as well as several important buildings is less than 15 minutes away, on foot. One of the biggest attractions of Hokkaido is its stunning scenery and the city of Sapporo is blessed with several mountains just at its back. The nearby mountains played host to the 1972 Winter Olympics and have many places of interest, including a ski resort, just outside the city.

Courses: Students attending Japanese language courses at Meiji Academy can add one the culture based modules to their programme such as Traditional Culture, Japanese Business Manners, or Pop Culture. If you’d like to put extra emphasis on your communication skills, the Conversational Japanese module is a great option, or even Private lessons to work on specific topics or areas where you’d like to see more improvement. Meiji Academy in Hokkaido also runs a fabulous Winter programme which incorporates a full range of seasonal activities to their Standard Japanese course.

Getting around: Meiji Academy is well connected to Sapporo’s reliable public transportation system. The closest tram stop is Higashihonganji-Mae, about 5 minutes away on foot, while the nearest subway station is Nikajimakoen, at the end of Nakajima Park, 13 minutes away. Students will find it easy to travel to most of the sites in the city. Travel time from the school to the New Chitose International Airport (CTS) is about 50 minutes by car, or an hour and a quarter by public transport.

“Really great teachers who answer every question, take their time and are always friendly! Despite initially being assigned to a course that was too much for me, I was able to switch to a suitable course on the same day.”
“The online placement test only takes written language skills into account. It would make sense to have an interview before the start of lessons to better assess the student's language level.
On the excursions, you never knew beforehand what kind of event you were attending. More information in advance would be better. It would also be nice to have information about what else you can take part in (apart from the events planned in the booked course).”
Quality of teaching / language progress: I would do it again at any time.

"The apartment is a bit outdated, but quite large by Japanese standards. All necessary things available (heating, air conditioning, microwave etc.). Only the vacuum cleaner was already falling apart as the suction pipe was only attached to the suction head with adhesive tape. Clean and tidy.

100,000+ happy clients since 1999
The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.

Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!
