I am a native English speaker, and I’m planning to study Japanese in Japan and am currently looking at a few language schools.
Right now I've looked at Yamasa Institute, ISI Nagano, UNITAS Kofu, and while I plan to look at others, I wanted to hear from anyone who has attended any of these institutes or has recommendations for other schools or regions that might fit my needs.
I’m looking for a school in a smaller city or rural area, and would prefer to avoid big cities like Tokyo or Osaka. One of my main goals is to immerse myself in nature while studying. In my free time, I love hiking, camping, and going to the beach, so I’d love a location with access to outdoor activities, or not too far of a drive as I do plan on getting a vehicle and plan to explore on weekends and during breaks.
Thank you for your time
