We welcome you to study in Osaka, a city full of cutting-edge technology and traditional culture!
Osaka, like Kyoto and Kobe, has been a thriving city for many years.
As one of the three largest metropolitan areas in Japan, the city has a well-developed rail network, skyscrapers, and shopping malls, and offers an urban lifestyle similar to that of Tokyo.
Osaka is also known for being a commercial city, so you will find it easy to find a part-time job, and the rent and cost of living are low.
The Shinsaibashi-Suji Shopping Street near the campus attracts many people every day.
Each region of Japan has its own dialect, but the Kansai dialect spoken in Osaka has become a major part of the Japanese language through television.
Thanks to the performing arts culture of Rakugo and Manzai, communication based on humor is an attractive feature of living in Osaka.
Message from the Principal
Human Academy Japanese Language School was established in 1987 and celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2022.
To date, many learners have gone on to graduate schools, universities, and vocational schools, found employment in Japan, or are actively using Japanese in their home countries. It is one of the largest Japanese language schools in Japan, where people from about 40 countries study together.
Our school focuses on developing the communication skills necessary for using Japanese in real-life situations. In our classes, we adopt an activity-based, learner-centered approach through action-oriented methods. We also implement peer learning, a method in which learners collaborate and support each other through dialogue.
At the time of enrollment and every three months thereafter, we assess each learner's Japanese ability based on our evaluation standards and assign them to appropriate classes.
We actively support students aiming for higher education such as graduate schools, universities, and vocational schools by offering various practical programs such as interview preparation courses, information sessions on advancing to higher education, workshops by alumni, and individual counseling sessions. We have also established a variety of courses to help students choose the most suitable learning path and course.
There are many wonderful places not only in Tokyo but all across Japan. Among them, Osaka is known as a city of "eating till you drop," where you can enjoy foods from many different countries. Osaka people are said to be warm-hearted, cheerful, and helpful. We at Human Academy Osaka Campus, located near cultural centers like Kyoto and Nara, look forward to welcoming you with "omotenashi" hospitality. We look forward to the day we can meet you."

Instructor Introduction

Nobuhiro Nakao
Hello. My name is Nakao and I work at the Osaka Campus of the Human Academy Japanese Language School. I joined the company as a full-time teacher in April 2018 and currently, I teach Japanese to students who do not have a student visa.
In my classes, I try to teach in a way that students learn independently and gain insights as they study. I know there is a lot of anxiety when you come to Japan for the first time, but both the teachers and the students are very cheerful people, so let’s enjoy learning Japanese together.

Aya Itsuzaki
Hello everyone. My name is Aya Itsuzaki and I work at the Osaka Campus of the Human Academy Japanese Language School. I joined the company as a full-time teacher in July 2018. I currently work as a career counselor.
What made you decide to come to study in Japan? I think there are many reasons, such as wanting to go to a vocational school or university in Japan, wanting to work in Japan, or being a fan of Japanese culture.
I also studied overseas when I was a student. There were times when I couldn’t express myself well in words or had difficulties in studying, but many people supported me and it was a very valuable experience.
I know it is sometimes hard to adapt to a new environment, but please feel free to ask me for help whenever you need it. Let’s do our best together!I think one of the charms of the Human Academy Japanese Language School is that people from many countries come here to study with different purposes, and you can make friends with people from many different countries. All of the teachers and office staff will do their best to support you in order for you to become a person who can play an active role in the international community in the future.
We look forward to seeing you on campus! Thank you very much.
