Searching a Japanese Language School in Tokyo for a 1-month intensive course on arrival to Japan

Hi y’all!

So I am moving to Japan in November with a Working Holiday Visa and I was planning on staying the first month in Tokyo while I study the language. My level is N5-N4, as I can read Hiragana and Katakana, although don’t know much about grammar nor Kanji 🙁

So, after analysing a few schools throughout the internet, I have a general idea of what kind of school I’m looking for:

\- Small classes (In this department Coto Academy looks great, as the groups are maximum 8 ppl)

\- In Tokyo (I don’t mind if it isn’t in the city center)

\- One month intensive course (I plan on backpacking through the rest of Japan from December/January, so my goal is to have an enough good skill to communicate with the locals and be able to get in the more rural areas of the country. Therefore for one month I would gladly study the most I can in the most efficient manner).

\- I’ll be staying in a sharehouse so no need for accommodation.

\- Staff support in matters of jobhunting (this is desired requisit)

\- And of course, must be budget friendly

For now, I was thinking of enrolling with Coto as they also offer help with my visa and they let me start in Mid-November/December, which not many schools give the option to.

With all of this in mind, do you have any recommendations???

Thank you all in advance!

  1. I just finished 3 months at [GenkiJACS](https://www.genkijacs.com/), which I can recommend. 5-8 people classes, 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Not totally sure about jobhunting support, but the staff helped with pretty much every request they were put to.
