Location: Genki Japanese and Culture School is in the south of Kyoto, in the Shimizucho ward. It is a few streets back from the Kamo River and surrounded by restaurants, shops, hotels, bars and supermarkets.

Navigating Kyoto: There are many bus stations around the school that stretch across the city. The school is 12 minutes by bus from the heart of Kyoto, which is a 20 minute walk for those who prefer to explore a city by foot. The Kiyomizu-Gojo Station is the closest train station to the school. From here students can take the Keihan Main Line to travel around Kyoto.

Main features of the city: The attractions in Kyoto are spread around the whole city, and for the most part, students will need to use public transportation in order to reach them all. The Fushimi Inari Taisha famed gates are 20 minutes by train from Genki Japanese and Culture School. The Kinkaku-ji temple is north of Kyoto and takes between 40-50 minutes by bus depending on the direction that students want to take from the school. A 20-minute walk east of the school will take students to the Kiyomizu-dera temple.

Course structure: There is a standard Japanese course, a programme for those that want to study for a longer duration and a specific course that focuses on conversational Japanese. The school has created a cultural course that integrates the culture of the country into learning Japanese.

Summer course: During the summer holidays, Genki Japanese and Culture School has junior packages for the younger learner, which include accommodation.

School chain: GenkiJACS, as a group, currently has four schools in Japan, in Fukuoka, Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto. Since 2005, GenkiJACS has supplied quality Japanese language tuition and cultural programmes to students of all levels and many nationalities. Their initial success has seen the group expand steadily, regularly recognised by awards throughout the education sector, including being voted the Star World Language School of the year at the industry Star Awards in 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020.

“Very hard-working teachers and an incredibly nice headmistress. // Additional worksheets are available on request. // There is a lot of emphasis on practising speaking, so that after a while you lose your shyness and dare to ask questions in shops or restaurants. // All teachers could speak at least basic English, so that in (what I consider) the right situations, they insisted on Japanese, but the teaching staff also sometimes used brief English. // The reception is great and always approachable, and they speak really good English. That's important, because the reception also helps you with non-school-related problems such as SIM cards, tickets, translations of information, emails, websites (if you want to buy concert tickets, for example) or ( alleged) problems with your accommodation. // You were allowed to stay longer within the school's premises in order to study there. // I took part in two free bank holiday substitute activities. One was a waste of time and one was really good. I was positive about the (paid!) weekend activities, but I'm glad I didn't book them. Because some of these activities could also be done on weekdays, so I didn't "waste" weekends doing them. And I preferred to have my own schedule instead of having to follow someone else's, especially since I then had to "fight" my way through it myself and was forced to talk myself. However, especially if you're only there for 2-4 weeks, it might be nice to get things organised and not have to worry about it. // The location of the school is unbeatable. // The class size is limited to 8 people. Most of the time, the class size according to plan was between 6-8 people (minus sick leave). // The way of teaching varies a lot, for better or worse. However, I noticed positively that the teachers often made an effort to adapt the work materials to the students, e.g. setting a date for the coming weekend or including the names of the class members. // The teaching staff has a relatively un-Japanese teaching style. Compared to German teaching, it may still seem old-fashioned, but anyone who knows how teaching is done in a typical Japanese school will agree with me. So the teaching staff has clearly attuned itself to its western audience, which is very positive. // Extremely flexible start, i.e. on any Monday of any week and of any length (in contrast to other schools that, for example, only start every quarter and/or only offer >12 week courses). // There is the possibility to change between Tokyo, Kyoto and Fukuoka relatively easily. This gives you much more impressions. (However, it is not worth it if you cannot stay in one place for at least 2, rather 3 weeks => minimum stay of 4, rather 6 weeks. Reason: The period of acclimatisation to a new place is harder than many think).”

“I'll start with the absolute worst point: groups were merged at different levels. In concrete terms, people started on the same day in different levels and consequently in different classes. Every first Monday of the month an A0 group starts, so with prior knowledge you join a group that started at A0 2, 3 or x weeks ago. So far, so good. But it turned out that people who had started at 1-3 weeks more advanced level suddenly ended up in my class. Explanation: While in my course the Ta, Te and dictionary form were run through in pretty much exactly 4 days, more advanced courses sat on the Te form alone for 2 weeks. So they artificially slowed down their time while I started crying because we were being rushed through. We were "kindly" allowed to take photos of the slides and I then studied them one by one with the book and my pitiful notes. It was always "Kakimasen, kakimasen - don't write, don't write". We were practically not allowed to take notes on such days, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get through the material. On the worst of those days, I spent 4 hours doing extra work. Why all this? Was it to keep the class size of the advanced classes at 1x 6 persons instead of 3x 2 persons per class? This chasing through even led to strong differences in practical ability, although theoretically we were on the same book lesson. I found it particularly irritating that I was then offered the opportunity to do additional exercises to practise. This extended my practice time by another 1-2 hours, so I stopped again, because then I would not have been able to do anything at all in Kyoto. // Although it was allowed to stay longer at the school (or to come earlier), there was actually not enough space. The lobby is an entrance room, break room and homework room all in one, so it is never quiet there (people come and go even during class time) and you were constantly approached by people. And it was incredibly loud before and after lessons. If a classroom was not occupied, I could also sit down in such a room, but that was not always the case. There was a lack of clearly defined learning areas and quite simply: space. // We only received the Minna no Nihongo exercise book after 4 weeks. In my opinion, it should have been handed out from the beginning. // The teaching materials are incredibly old. Since Minna no Nihongo is a standard work (last update: 2012), this is not the school's fault per se (and as mentioned in the positive points, many teachers have made an effort to make the lessons more modern). Nevertheless, I was reminded several times of my early school days, because one was so often confronted with poorly readable photocopied teaching sheets (from the early 2000s), including outdated words and ugly black-and-white graphics. // A lot of English and German outside of class, because exclusively Western students. // Despite the fact that the teaching style is already aimed at Western students, it remains a Japanese teaching style: lots of parroting and worksheets non-stop. I would have preferred to get a binder instead of a notebook, because it turned into a terrible paper jungle (my tip: write the date and sheet number on all the sheets. Otherwise, with 4 to 8 sheets PER DAY, you quickly lose track). Genki certainly doesn't do any worse than other Japanese schools. The Japanese are just behind internationally. Nevertheless, it is a negative point that you have to be prepared for. // No long-term planning possibilities because you only get the timetable on Fridays. As a result, the classes are regularly mixed up, which means that you cannot form close friendships. At this point, it should be mentioned that it was not at all clear who was in which class and why, or why others had classes in the morning for three weeks in a row, but you had to constantly jump between lunch and afternoon classes. When asked, I was told once (quote) "There are plenty of reasons" and once "It is a coincidence". I didn't like this lack of transparency.”
Insider tip: “The school hours tend to start in the morning at the beginning of the stay (I have observed this many times with others), then there are 1-3 "mixed" weeks and then practically only afternoon classes. I can only recommend to everyone to use the afternoons for activities right from the start, because these afternoons quickly become rare. And in the mornings you simply can't do that much, because almost everything only opens at 10 am (temples/shrines sometimes already open between 6 and 9 am). So on weekdays, do everything Kyoto has to offer. And at the weekends, you can take trips to other cities.”
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I would point out that you should definitely come to Japan with very good hiragana and at least a basic knowledge of katakana, whether at Genki or another school. I have seen people take six weeks to learn to read hiragana fluently. That's six weeks in which they made virtually no other progress because they lacked reading skills. Do yourself a favour and learn to read hiragana fluently before you go on a language course. Everything else is a waste of money and time. // I wanted to have private lessons, but they were not available at the time - I am now quite happy. Two other participants had private lessons and both told me that they had hoped to get more out of them. Maybe it is more worthwhile if you are already at a very good A2 or even B1 level.
Other comments My personal conclusion: Many of the positive and negative points I mentioned are simply two sides of the same coin. You have to be clear about what you want. I chose this school because of its flexible start and end times and because of its location. These points were so irrefutable for me that I would retrospectively choose everything exactly the same again today. But I would not choose this school again under different circumstances. The negative experiences with the expected equalisation of learning levels were too bad for me. The constant reshuffling of classes and the fact that I only knew the timetables for the following weeks on the Friday beforehand were also acceptable this time, but next time I would prefer to have lessons at the same times throughout (even if it would only be in the afternoon) in order to be able to bring a permanent routine into my day, and in addition always be in class with the same people and have planning security for the weeks to come. So if you only want to take lessons for a few weeks, I can definitely recommend the Genki School. There are hardly any other schools that offer such flexible weekly starts. For those who want to stay for three months or longer, I would recommend looking for another school. For me, the negative aspects of the flexible concept outweigh the positive ones.
