Environment

Our school is only 5 minutes’ walk from JR Tenma Station and the subway Ohgimachi Station. In addition to this convenient location, the area surrounding the school building is a quiet residential district, perfect for studying.

There are three large parks nearby. They are optimal for relaxing after long hours of studying, or for taking a walk with friends and for chatting.

A large shopping district, stretching approximately 2 km long, is only 2 minutes away by foot. Here, you can see the many faces of Japan. Tenmangu, a shrine where Tenjin Festival, one of Japan’s three major festivals, is held, is also 5 minutes by foot.
