Looking for Japanese language school recommendations

Hi everyone!
I’m considering applying for a language school program for 1 year (2026 October term) and would love some advice! 🙂
I’m looking for a school that:
• Has greenery, or easy access to outdoors.
• Has a friendly, welcoming environment
• Has some English-speaking / Western classmates (I’m okay being challenged, just don’t want to feel totally isolated)

budget-conscious (just because i plan on traveling/ exploring more parts of japan during school breaks)

I’ve visited Japan before and really loved it, and I’m currently self-studying Japanese. I’m open to different regions

Ive been looking into ISI and ALA.
If you’ve attended a school like this or have recommendations (or places to avoid), I’d really appreciate hearing your experience.
Thank you!
