Student feedback from previous courses:

”I have been very satisfied with the courses. Konishi-sensei has taken great care of us students and the cultural bits are a good addition and make learning enjoyable. The courses do run at a fast pace, so students need to be ready to put in effort. However, Konishi-sensei has been very accommodating even with my sometimes foolish questions. As an end result, my travels in Japan have been far more enjoyable as I am able to chat with locals and have some insight on customs and interesting things to see.“
