Tokyo language school advice- ALA, ARC, and Intercultural Institute of Japan
by Korbro27 on Feb 22, 2026
Hello, I am thinking about moving to Japan for a year while attending a language school. I've been taking a look at some schools through GoGo Nihon, and I've narrowed it down to:
- ALA (Iidabashi)
- ARC (Iidabashi)
and - Intercultural Institute of Japan (Akiba).
I was wondering if anyone here has been to any of these schools and could tell me a bit about their experience, and if you'd recommend them.
I'm looking for a medium-intensity school so I could have the possibility of working part-time. Things like a friendly/chill environment are pretty important to me as well, since I've heard some schools treat their students like highschool kids.
Ty!
