We received the lovely postcard above from a couple of students who finished studying at our Japanese language school in Fukuoka recently. It's always nice to hear from students who enjoyed studying Japanese with us!
Tokyo, Fukuoka ranked as world's best cities!
Monocle Magazine has released their 2012 world quality of life ranking! And it looks like GenkiJACS has chosen the locations of our Japanese schools well: Tokyo is ranked 4th this year (up from 7th) while Fukuoka is ranked 12th (same as last year). These are the two highest Japanese cities in the ranking.
The article is only available online to subscribers. But Fukuoka Now has the full list here. Now you can try both, by studying at our Japanese language schools in both Tokyo and Fukuoka!
This is Evan with Japanese language school GenkiJACS.
We've been booking a lot of hotels these days, as we set up the new Tokyo branch of our Japanese school. Recently we've found ourselves using a new English-language website a lot of the time, as it often has cheaper prices than most of the Japanese websites, and offers a good range of hotels. The website is Japanican.com, and it's run by giant Japanese travel agency JTB. In addition to hotels, they also offer traditional ryokan, as well as a variety of tours. So they can help if you want to take a break from studying Japanese at our language school!
