Please indicate your intention by a check mark next to the wish to stay in a dormitory item (on the front of the　application form) when you submit your application. We will send you a guide to the dormitories at a later date.

Limited to students living in the dormitories, you can apply for rentals at the school. Television sets, refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, kotasu heaters, vacuum cleaners, electric pots, chests, beds, and sofas are available. Rental contracts are for 6-month periods. If the 6-month period is exceeded, you must renew the contract. Please apply for rentals after arriving in Japan.

Please reserve a flight that arrives at the Kansai International Airport or the Osaka International Airport. There is a shuttle bus from the airport to the school/dormitory. The school can make a reservation for the shuttle bus on your behalf, so after your flight is determined, please let us know the details. The shuttle bus driver will come to meet you at the exit of the arrival lobby at the airport.

Classes are determined by a placement test (written examination and interview) taken when you enter the school. Importance is placed on your knowledge of Japanese (grammar and vocabulary), and also on your ability to use Japanese. Furthermore, we take the reason you want to acquire proficiency in Japanese (such as to proceed to the next stage of education, finding a job, etc.) into consideration.

When you apply for a visa renewal or change in visa status, or when you want to go on to the next stage of education at a college, university, or vocational school, this becomes an important matter In some cases, your application for a visa renewal or change in visa status may not be approved if your attendance is lower than 80%. Furthermore, if your attendance for each semester is not above 90%, we cannot act as an application agency on your behalf to the Immigration Bureau, and we cannot recommend you for scholarships or for proceeding on to the next stage of education. In addition, we cannot act as a guarantor for lodging accommodations.

We have staff members at the school who can speak English, Chinese and Korean, so if you have any problems, please consult with us about it. In addition, we hold an ""exchange meeting with existing students""before classes start. You can get advice from existing students from your home country about life in Japan or studying.

If you join the National Health Insurance system, you can get medical treatment at a low cost. In addition, KICL is a member of an insurance program (Disaster Compensation Scheme for Students in Japanese Language School) that covers the amount not covered by the National Health Insurance, which the student must normally pay. Please consult with us if you get sick.

One of our elective classes, the ""Art and Design, Fundamental Class,"" is designed for students who want to go on to art-related universities.

You can apply at the school after the summer course starts. Please pay the class fee when you apply.

Before the summer course starts, we send a placement test to everyone. The class level is determined based on the results of that test. After the summer course starts, if you think the class level is not right for you, you should consult your teacher immediately.

The school has a number of dormitories available. If you are interested, we will send you reference materials.

In cases of enrollment cancellation, the entire course fee (minus the registration fee) will be refunded up to 1 week after the start of the course. If you cancel after that time period, refunds are not possible.
