School location

Located a five-minute walk from Hatagaya Station on the Keio New Line, our school provides the finest learning environment for foreign students, as this quiet residential community within the big city is a place that affords the opportunity for focused study. As the school is located closest to Hatagaya Station, which offers access to Shinjuku Station via a four-minute train ride as well as access to Shibuya Station in about 15 minutes by either train or bus, this is a very convenient location for commuting, shopping, and working part-time.
