Fuji Language School

What Fuji Language School does

Fuji Language School (フジランゲージスクール) is a privately operated Japanese language school founded in April 2011 in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, approximately 1.5 hours from Tokyo. It holds designation from Japan's Ministry of Justice (法務省告示校), the regulatory status required to sponsor student visas for international learners. The school building integrates classrooms on floors one and two with student dormitories on floors three through five, supplemented by two off-site dormitory complexes (Domini Kamiko-shine and Kiyosato Maehara Complex), giving a total operational capacity of 200 students. As of April 1, 2026, the school served 169 international students plus 16 non-student learners, supported by 21 teachers and 6 administrative staff.

The school's product portfolio centers on three program lines. The long-term study program (1.6 or 2 years, ¥1,244,980-¥1,610,980 total) targets students seeking graduate school, university, or vocational school admission and aims for B2-level (JLPT N2) proficiency across five skills. The short-term program (1 week to 3 months, ¥130,000-¥350,000) and dedicated training for Japan residents (¥5,000 per 50-minute class, delivered in Japanese, English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, or Thai) round out the consumer portfolio. A corporate training vertical serves Japanese companies employing foreign workers, including ¥77,000/person technical intern training and on-site company instruction.

Revenue is generated through tuition, dormitory fees (¥25,000-53,000/month per student), and corporate training contracts. The school sells directly through its website, a Facebook page, and phone/inquiry form, with no intermediary agents. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, targeting prospective students from Asia, Europe, America, and Africa, while the corporate channel is direct B2B sales to Japanese employers of foreign technical interns and engineers. The integrated school-and-dormitory real estate, comprehensive visa and airport pickup support, and full-service academic-plus-employment counseling form the school's core value proposition.
