Residence
One of the hard things when studying abroad is finding accommodation. Contracting with a real estate agent is difficult, and procedures for gas, water and electricity can be complicated.
For people who require it, Tokyo Cocoro Japanese Language School has dormitories, guesthouses and apartments readily available, so save your worries! And of course we also provide support with the gas, water and electricity procedures.
Rent is affordable and all places come fully furnished with furniture, home appliances etc. We have many rooms available, so we are certain you can find one to suit you.

Medical Care
After enrolling, you will join the National Health Insurance. This insurance covers 70% of medical expenses (treatment costs) when you get sick or injured.
In addition, the “International Student Plan” of the Japanese Language School Association will cover the remaining 30% of the medical expenses (treatment costs) that are not covered under the National Health Insurance.
In addition, staff who can understand Chinese, Vietnamese, and English can accompany you when you need to go to the hospital.
Surroundings
We are located on the corner of a road in a quiet residential area; a perfect environment for concentrating on your studies. There is also a convenience store, a supermarket, a 100 yen store and several cafés near the school.
There are also local shops such as a popular cake shop and a tofu shop that sells a delicious ‘Tofu Bavarois’.
Our school is conveniently located just a 10 minute train journey away from Ikebukuro; a city commonly referred to as ‘the city of art and subculture’ and ‘the city of young people’.
Ikebukuro is a city with a stimulus that continues to grow day by day, with the city’s leading business districts ever expanding.
From Ikebukuro you can reach Shinjuku, Tokyo and Shibuya districts by train all within about 15 minutes.
