Akita Japanese Language Institute was founded as a Japanese language education institution of Ito Gakuen, an education corporation located in Akita Prefecture. Together with the historic Ito Gakuen Information Business College and Social Welfare College, Akita Japanese Language Institute provides Japanese language education to international students and supports their futures.
In addition, we have a men's dormitory and a women's dormitory within walking distance so that international students can live in Japan with peace of mind, and we have created an environment where students can concentrate on their studies at ease through our dormitory life guidance and support. With our academic and lifestyle support, students can focus on their studies and advance toward their goals.
