Fukuoka JaLS (30+) Study in Japan for adults in Fukuoka, where the city and nature are in beautiful harmony. Fukuoka Campus is a Japanese language school for adults over 30 years old. While maintaining the features of the JaLS GROUP such as ‘small class sizes of up to 6 students per class’, a wide variety of activities and ‘interaction with Japanese people’, which can only be achieved by specialising in short-term study abroad, Fukuoka JaLS has been created for adults in terms of lesson themes and activity content.
