Introduction to Human Academy Japanese Language School Osaka Branch
Study in Osaka, a city of cutting edge technology and traditional culture
Osaka, along with Kyoto and Kobe, is a city that has prospered since ancient times.
As one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas, it has a well-developed railway network, skyscrapers, and shopping malls, allowing you to live an urban life no different from Tokyo.
Osaka is also known as a commercial city, so it's easy to find part-time work, and rent and prices are low, making it an easy place to live.
The Shinsaibashisuji shopping street near the school is bustling with many visitors every day.
Additionally, Japanese has different dialects in each region, and the Kansai dialect used in Osaka has become mainstream through television.
Behind this lies a culture of performing arts such as rakugo and manzai, and communication that incorporates laughter is one of the attractions of living in Osaka.

Principal's Greetings
Human Academy Japanese Language School was founded in 1987 and celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2022.
We are one of the largest Japanese language schools in Japan, where you can study together with people from approximately 40 countries, and many of our students have gone on to graduate schools, universities, and vocational schools, found employment in Japan, or are using Japanese in their home countries.
The distinctive feature of our school is that we develop the communication skills necessary for using Japanese in real-world situations. In our classes, we use an action-centered approach and active learning style in which students take the lead, implementing a peer learning method in which students cooperate with each other to improve their skills through dialogue.
Starting at the beginning of enrollment and every three months, we evaluate each student's Japanese language ability based on our school's evaluation criteria, and place students in the appropriate class. In addition, we actively support students who wish to continue on to graduate school, university, or vocational school, and we offer a variety of courses so that students can choose the appropriate learning method and course.
There are many wonderful places in Japan, not just Tokyo. Among them, Osaka is known as the city of "eat to your heart's content" because you can enjoy food from many different countries. Osaka people are also known for being "kind-hearted, easy-going, and caring." We look forward to providing you with hospitality at Human Academy Osaka, where you can experience the wonderful culture of Japan, such as Kyoto and Nara, and we look forward to meeting you.
Faculty Introduction
Okamoto Fumi
hello everyone.
This is Fumiko Okamoto from Human Academy Japanese Language School, Osaka Campus.
I joined the company as a full-time lecturer in July 2024.
Having worked in various fields, primarily in the education industry, for over 30 years, I was drawn to the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world and help expand the possibilities for international students, which led me to pursue a career as a Japanese language instructor.
Currently, I'm involved not only in teaching but also in supporting students with job hunting and further education.
In our classes, we value creating a reassuring atmosphere where students feel comfortable making mistakes.
Let's talk a lot, laugh a lot, and learn practical Japanese that you can use in real life.
One of the biggest attractions of this school, which attracts students from all over the world, is the opportunity to learn while being exposed to diverse cultures and ways of thinking.
I myself get to hear stories about various countries from the students, so I feel like I'm traveling the world every day!
At school, I want to be like an "Osaka mother," warmly and wholeheartedly supporting everyone so that their dreams can come true.
I'm looking forward to studying with all of you.
Aya Itzaki
Hello everyone. My name is Aya Itsuzaki, and I work at Human Academy Japanese Language School Osaka Branch. I joined the company as a full-time instructor in July 2018. I am currently in charge of career guidance.
Why did you decide to study abroad in Japan? There are probably many reasons, such as wanting to go to a Japanese vocational school or university, wanting to work in Japan, or because you like Japanese culture.
I also studied abroad when I was a student. There were times when I couldn't express my thoughts well and I struggled with the difficulties of my studies, but I was supported by many people and it was a very valuable experience.
It may be difficult to get used to your new environment, but please feel free to ask for help whenever you are in trouble. Let's do our best together! People from many countries with various goals come to study here, and I think one of the attractions of Human Academy Japanese Language School is that you can make friends with people from many different countries. Our instructors and administrative staff will work together to provide you with all our support so that you can become a talented person who can play an active role in the international community in the future.
I am looking forward to seeing you all at school! Thank you!
