Our Story

4 Week Japanese Language Program

Our standard program length is four weeks, however, the program can be tailored to individuals and groups starting from two weeks up to three months (inquire for group rates). You can join Study & Intern Okinawa at the beginning of every month, however, the language classes do not restart every month as they follow the Japanese school year curriculum.
