Message from the Principal
The Asian Student Culture Association, which operates the school,
is a public-service corporation established in 1957.
Since establishment, we have been providing Japanese-language education and accommodation to overseas students who arrive in Japan.
We have also worked together with overseas students towards publications, etc.
The entire teaching staff pledges to support those who have strong intentions
to enter Japanese universities. We are certain that through learning in this school,
it will be a huge stepping stone for each and every student in their respective career path.
