Why it is in this guide

A direct language-school option covering ages 5–12 without requiring regular school enrolment. Official 2025 pricing and dated 2026 listings establish continuing operation.

Who it may suit

Families wanting short morning study and their own afternoons, including beginner siblings in different age groups. Parent tuition is optional; a family discount requires qualifying course bookings.

What to weigh up

Group classes need three students. At the same fee, two students receive 15 paired lessons and one receives 10 private lessons instead of 20 group lessons. Peak-season afternoons or another teaching building are possible.

Operating history and evidence

A parent review dated 12 October 2023 describes a positive month with two children; their ages are not stated. Wider adult feedback is mixed, including a September 2024 account criticising level grouping and reduced hours. These are Google accounts mirrored by Wanderlog, not current primary-class inspections.

Adult-course criticism, separate context

An adult Erasmus participant criticises construction, computer availability, mixed levels and fewer teaching hours as a sole student.

One self-reported adult experience; it is not evidence about the child course. It reinforces checking the published small-class conversion rule.

Age, language and eligibility

International visitors are accepted. Junior English covers A0/A1–B2; Kids Club introduces English through play without a published prerequisite. Under-15 s must travel with a parent/caregiver, who handles care outside booked school activities.

What the days look like

Normally 20×45-minute lessons weekly, 09:00–12:30 with a supervised break. Kids Club uses songs, crafts and games without written grammar lessons; Junior English emphasises speaking. Confirm the actual timetable for the chosen week.

Parents, accommodation and transport

Families arrange their own hotel/apartment or request school accommodation. School-booked apartments and homestays also require an arrival transfer, whose current fee was not verified. From Tokyo, plan a long-haul journey with a connection and daily parent-led travel to school.

Included costs and the family budget

One-week 2026 examples: Junior autumn €310 (Approx. ¥55,000) (€230 (Approx. ¥41,000)+€50 (Approx. ¥9,000) registration+€30 (Approx. ¥5,000) resources); summer Junior €360 (Approx. ¥64,000) (€280 (Approx. ¥50,000)+€50 (Approx. ¥9,000)+€30 (Approx. ¥5,000)); autumn Kids Club €360 (Approx. ¥64,000). These are child-only course components. Mandatory insurance has no verified premium, so all are incomplete totals; parent lodging, food and travel are extra.

Cancellation and refunds

Published wording lists €230/person at the 30-day cutoff, €230+25% of invoice at 14 days and €230+50% at 7 days, but does not clearly define every interval. No refund after starting or for no-show; bank-transfer refunds add €25 administration. Obtain a written interpretation before paying.
