Hello,
Background: I’ve been planning an extended trip to Japan for quite some time now in order to study Japanese. I would like to go to GENKI JACS in Fukuoka for one year followed by KICL in Kyoto for an additional year. The reason for this is because I feel like GENKI JACS caters more to beginners while KICL caters more to advanced learners. I wish to attain a C2 level in Japanese as well a receive an N1 on the JLPT. I have experience when it comes to studying other foreign languages and given my experience I feel like a switch in programs/rigor would greatly help my Japanese learning goals.
My question is the following. How likely is it that my request to change schools after one year will be accommodated by the aforementioned schools as well as the immigration department? Should I reach out to the schools themselves or a Japanese consulate/embassy for further guidance?
Thank you and have a great day.
