東京OLJ校 東京都 豊島区 東池袋
Toshima Ward, Tokyo, where OLJ School is located, is a district with many students, both Japanese and international. In this city where students from around the world gather, approximately 20 nationalities constantly study Japanese together at OLJ. Although purposes differ—”I want to speak Japanese,” “I want to improve my Japanese further,” “I want to pursue higher education in Japan,” “I want to find employment using Japanese”—the common desire for all studying Japanese in Japan is to acquire Japanese communication skills. OLJ Language Academy is a school that emphasizes “listening in Japanese” and “speaking in Japanese,” focusing on acquiring higher-level “Japanese communication ability.”

School Features
A school where students and staff grow together
Provision of a place for practical Japanese usage
We strive to create an environment where not only classrooms (lessons) but the entire school serves as a place for Japanese language practice. Through Japanese language practice, students can acquire problem-solving abilities and self-expression skills in Japanese, and we provide an environment where they can grow into independent Japanese speakers.


Provision of Bilingual Counseling on University Admission by Our Professional Staff
Through career guidance conducted in parallel by Japanese and international staff, we provide efficient and high-quality guidance regardless of learners’ Japanese proficiency. Career counseling and consultation are available in both Japanese and native languages.
Provision of a learning environment where a student’s individuality is acknowledged
We do not evaluate learners solely based on Japanese language ability, but provide a place where each individual’s personality and abilities are mutually recognized and utilized.

Why do you study Japanese?
Each person has different reasons.
We at OLJ value and support each individual’s aspirations. And since you’re studying Japanese anyway, let’s enjoy learning together to the fullest!
Principal: MIURA Yosuke

The charm of OLJ is that you can always hear laughter somewhere. Why not improve your Japanese in an environment where you can enjoy learning?
Our teachers also enjoy daily classes through dialogue with students. It’s a comfortable school where you can casually drop by even after graduation.
Academic Director: FUKUKAMI Mai

At OLJ, there are not only classroom studies but also many off-campus activities such as cultural experiences, allowing you to encounter various forms of Japanese.
There are plenty of opportunities to speak Japanese with classmates from different countries and with cheerful teachers who love conversation.
